9. Interesting idea, although too late for that now.

The cost would likely also be prohibitively expensive, you would have to purchase a scanner for every person gathering signatures. It would require hundreds or even thousands of scanners and I am sure the cost of that would be enormous.

Now if there were a way to get some sort of ID number for each person who signs the petition that could be linked to both the Democratic Party database and the petitions themselves it would allow quick verification that the two matched and it could speed up the process a great deal and save a lot of money. It is almost certainly too late for that as well however, if that process had been implemented before the gathering of signatures began it would work and be very efficient but because no ID numbers were assigned to the petitions before circulation far more data entry will be needed.
