Another missing paperclip on petition sheets causes problems.

Ballot Access News » Initiative Proponents Win New York Case over Fastening Petition Sheets Together:

"The proponents testified that when they had submitted the petition sheets, the sheets were fastened together with a binder clip (a spring-loaded clip). The City Clerk testified that the sheets had not been fastened together, but that he had put the binder clip on the sheets. The court ruled that (a) even if the sheets had not been fastened together, the proponents were entitled to “cure” that defect; (b) in any event, even if it were true that it was the City Clerk, and not the proponents, who had fastened the sheets together, the City Clerk’s action itself meant that the sheets were fastened together and that requirement was satisfied."
