According to this story, on August 2, the Osceola County, Florida Commission repealed a county requirement that county initiative petitions contain the precinct number of each signer. Even if the Commission had not taken this action, a case could have been made that the requirement is unconstitutional. A similar requirement had been invalidated in U.S. District Court in New York in 1994 in Schultz v Williams; and the 5th circuit invalidated a Texas law that required signers to include their Voter Registration Affidavit number on petitions in Pilcher v Rains in 1988.

Now that voter registration records are computerized, it is irrational to require petition signers to put their precinct number on a petition.
