A number of unions and pro-tax groups claim many of those names are fraudulent and are asking the state attorney general to investigate. Names on the "con" list include leaders of unions that heavily support the tax, or even Democratic state Sen. Victoria Hunt, who is one of the co-sponsors.

“Somebody had signed in without my permission, on my behalf,” Hunt said in a press conference Monday morning.

A number of the names signed in are also duplicates, the campaign for the tax alleged in a letter addressed to Attorney General Nick Brown and Washington state House Clerk Bernard Dean.
