Connerly Initiative Makes Nebraska Ballot, Opponents Question Signatures
In Nebraska, Secretary of State John Gale said Friday the initiative had 24,000 more valid signatures that it needed to make it on the November ballot. Opponents of his Nebraska measure have vowed to keep fighting, too. A lawsuit pending in Lancaster County District Court challenges the ballot language, which opponents say is misleading and unclear. And Nebraskans United, a group created to fight the initiative, has given the secretary of state video and other evidence that petition circulators left petitions unattended, among other alleged violations of state law. David Kramer, spokesman for Nebraskans United, said his group will continue to try to disprove the legitimacy of petition signatures. He said Nebraskans United has so far found more than 36,500 signatures it considers questionable.
