Carole Strayhorn is currently suing Texas over a regulation that won’t permit multiple turn-ins of signatures. Although she turned in 223,000 signatures on May 9, she turned in another 6,000 on May 11, the deadline. The state accepted the 2nd batch even though it says they won’t count. Strayhorn’s action keeps that aspect of her lawsuit from being declared moot.

Among the signers in the 2nd batch were the signatures of a woman who signed on her hospital bed shortly before she died, plus the nurse in attendance.
