Also, Don Braid's point is pretty weak in this story. If anything, they should be happy the deficiencies were found in a petition that was going to fail even if every signature was immaculate.

If the City had ignored the deficiencies and just said, "not enough signatures, we're not even going to look at them", when the next petition is filed with enough signatures but the same deficiencies, they'd be whining that the city was ignoring the will of the people due to a technicality that no one knew about.

Yup, that is exactly how the clowns who ran this petition would describe a basic requirement for the petition, that is laid out plainly in black and white .
