In Pennsylvania to run for local borough or township office, candidates need ten signatures of registered voters from their party. For county-wide offices they need a hundred signatures. Linda and I were out collecting signatures in Nesquehoning today. We had a list of voters by party and hit all the Democrats on East Catawissa Street.
It was slow going. First of all, most people are either not at home or don’t answer the door. Secondly, people move, so some of our info was wrong. Third, we met two people who wouldn’t sign anything, or so they told us. And almost everyone has a dog–some cute and small but quite a few that are big and scary.
Tomorrow we plan to hit Mill and Center Streets–unless it is raining.
