During the hearings over the referendum petitions, the lawyer for the
Montgomery County Board of Elections argued that it isn't the Board's
job to make sure that the signatures on the petitions were not
forgeries. Their job, he said, was just to check that signatures
matched names in the voter-registration database. The judge didn't buy
that, in his ruling he said, "While the Board does not consist of a
group of handwriting experts, its role is something more than that of
bean-counter."
