Petitio Potpourri

Can you name the season? The signature of this season is to be on the lookout for little characters who are not what they appear to be. If you answered Halloween, good guess but you are incorrect. The correct answer is the season for checking your opponent's ballot petitions for fake signatures.

Yep, tis the season to submit your candidacy petitions for the 2026 Primary Election. Make no mistake, the opposition is looking at your petitions right now. Are all of your signatures valid and from citizens registered to vote? Your MAGA opponent will not hesitate to show your petition to the nearest ICE agent. Those are your voters on that petition and they can't vote for you if they wind up "detained" inside an ICE lockup.
