According to the comment just above yours, those "signatures" are unauthenticated?

This isn't about signatures or authentication, the site says outright that those people are supporters.
> the site says outright that those people are supporters.

With no citation. I can make a site say anything I want it. Credibility comes when you can point to other sites saying the same thing.

Now you're claiming something different.

hughperkins was using a "security mindset", and was implying that the site, due to lack of authentication, was being tricked into showing "George Soros" as a supporter because it just let anybody type in "George Soros".

This is not the case. The page of supporters is a page they designed, with no user input. The site is making the explicit claim that George Soros, that George Soros, is a supporter.

If you believe the site is lying, no amount of authentication on the site's side is going to fix that!
