TABOR petition drive focus of prosecution
A professional petitioner testified Tuesday that a national organization flew him to Oklahoma to gather signatures for a controversial proposed ballot measure in 2005. Colby said he took steps to establish residency in Oklahoma, including obtaining an Oklahoma identification card and moving into an Oklahoma City apartment, but that he had no plans to stay in Oklahoma once his work was complete. "We were flown in by National Voter Outreach," Colby said. "I was brought here to Oklahoma to petition the TABOR initiative." Colby testified he was paid as much as $1.50 per signature and that he worked on between 75 and 100 petition drives in more than a dozen states.
