Well, if the Republicans hate it, it's probably reasonable. Let's check the article. "It would require the Secretary of State’s Office to check addresses during the signature verification process and it would require signature gatherers to sign a declaration on each sheet of signatures they collect."
That's basically the smallest, least intrusive thing that can be done to prevent fraud. It's kinda wild that wasn't already in place, but that probably explains the ease with which unpopular, right-wing, corporate-sponsored initiatives have been ending up on the ballot 🙄
