The so-called “Convention of States” (COS) organization claims to have massive grassroots support for an Article V Convention.  However, there is considerable evidence that their alleged support is faked:

• This Phony Petitions & Polls flyer tells of how, during 2018, two Idaho Legislators reported that the COS Petitions they received were digitally “signed” by some constituents who, when contacted, said they never signed.  Representative Priscilla Giddings (R) called this practice “hi-tech fraud”.  Representative Dorothy Moon (R) called it “dirty tricks”.   Moreover, COS apparently accumulates signatures for life (or longer).  In 2016, a South Dakota State Senator received a COS petition from his dead neighbor!
• In this interview with Alex Newman of JBS, Representative Pepper Ottman (R) of Wyoming tells of how earlier this year she received hundreds of emails from alleged supporters of SJR11 (the “COS” application for a convention).  Since the names and addresses of [alleged] senders were provided, she contacted the alleged senders and they said they didn’t send the emails!
• In this interview with Christian Gomez of JBS, Representative Sarah Penn (R), also of Wyoming, also recounts of how she received emails in support of SJR 11 from “constituents” – but when she contacted them, they responded with comments such as, “I don’t know what this is  – I didn’t send it – what is COS?”  
• And in Christian Gomez’ recent interview withRepresentative Helena Hayes (R) of Iowa, Representative Hayes speaks of COS’s practice of character assassination of individuals and of organizations who oppose COS. 

Furthermore, the character assassination described by Representative Hayes is a continuing and long-standing practice of COS:  See Convention of States Project vies for four Pinocchios at subpoint 6. Smear Tactics.
