These images from documents provided March 30, 2016, by the Maine secretary of state's office shows the signature that Stavros Mendros used in his 2011 notary public commission application to the Maine Office of Secretary of State, top, and his signature that appears on one of the petitions in 2015 calling for a state-wide vote to legalize marijuana, below. Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap had rejected 5,000 petitions submitted on Feb. 1 containing more than 26,000 signatures, saying the signature of the notary on the petitions did not match the signature on file. On Friday, April 8, 2016, Superior Court Justice Michaela Murphy reversed the decision, ruling it was "unreasonable" for the state to require that the notary's signature must be identical.
