Received wisdom on VJ tends to state that the usual process at the service centers is that petitions are done in "boxes".

So if the rough mandate at (say) VSC is "work on January filers", employees over there are going to be probably just grabbing boxes labelled "January" pretty much at random.

So there's a little luck involved.
