The Legal Marijuana Now Party is beginning the process of finding at least 28 more valid signatures, so as to be able to qualify for the Nebraska ballot. Earlier this month the Secretary of State had said it is short 28 valid signatures, but frequently when proponents of any type of petition do a more careful examination of the petition, they can find valid signatures that had been erroneously rejected.
It really shouldn’t be difficult to find 28 additional people in Nebraska who want marijuana legal, so I certainly hope they can get it done.
The state won’t let them get any new signatures; the party must instead find 28 original signatures that should not have been held invalid.
Oh, thanks for the clarification. I appreciate it.
I wish them luck. We in Illinois Green Party had to do that for one of our state legislative candidates last year, and from what I heard for those directly involved, it was a rather stressful process. But we did manage to rehabilitate enough signatures to get our candidate on the ballot.
