Aside from the desperate attempt to stop Kasich, one legitimate question:

How is it even possible to have around 800 signatures that are potentially fake, out of 2.200 which where submitted ?

In Austria, presidential candidates have to collect 6.000 signatures to be on the ballot and it would be a shocking case if even 3 or 4 turned out to be invalid ...

The standard rule of thumb in the States is that you should have 50% more signatures than the petition requires because fakes are so common.

For Kasich to only submit 2184 signatures on a 2000 signature petition requirement is horrible campaign malpractice.
