“Backers of the animal cruelty initiative, who did not immediately return a call for comment Friday, reported handing in 142,784 signatures. But through two statistical samples, state election officials determined that just 104,262 of those signatures matched individual Oregon voters’ signature records. Election officials compare signatures submitted to voter records and exclude duplicates.”
A lot of times I’ll sign these with a made up name like Gary Indiana or Lonny Rhodes.

I wonder if they used Google AI to verify the signatures.
