  1. Distribution rot UNCON —

    Moore v. Ogilvie, 394 U.S. 814 (1969)

    Failure for USA Feds to indict State hacks – mere 53 years.

  2. Missouri does not have a statewide requirement.

    However the variation in votes cast for governor and presumably CVAP exceeds 40%, meaning the value of a signature wildly varies among the districts as does the value of a vote for representative.
