The traction rule — what enough responses guarantees

Borrowed from the UK Parliament's petition site, where a signature count obligates a government response: when a live question reaches its threshold of responses, we print the result packet and hand-deliver it to the body that decides — for a city question the city council or town meeting, for a county question the Fort Collins City Council (Mayor + 6 districts), for a state question the Colorado legislative delegation, for a national one the district's members of Congress — and stamp the delivery publicly. The threshold is sized to the level, the way real petitions are: a share of the electorate there. Officials aren't obligated to act. They are guaranteed to receive — and what they do next becomes part of the record either way.
