In the UK, nominating someone to appear on a ballot does "use up a vote". You cannot then nominate any other person to appear on the same ballot. It wouldn't surprise me if other States in the US had the same rule. | |

That's simply not true. Signing a petition does not have only the meaning you suggest. You should probably moderate the tone of your answer to be less ranty. Pointing out your own interpretation of what it means to sign a petition is fine, but claiming that yours is the only reasonable one is not. | |
