tell me why you would want to do this. The database can’t hold duplicate email addresses so it seems to me that an error if it is a duplicate email address is useful.
The e-mail address should not be entered twice in the database, but the process should be canceled without the person signing the petition noticing.
The reason is data protection. It should not be possible to find out who has already signed the petition with their e-mail address with malicious intent.

Aha…that makes sense.
This is not possible at the moment, but given that SpeakOut! is used on sites that might be seen as controversial, I can see the value.
However, if an email address succeeds, a “thank you” screen is shown. If an address fails silently, it will still indicate that the address exists in the database as there will be no “thank you”.
If that doesn’t bother you, you could always customise or delete the CSS class.
