Backers of an initiative to legalize marijuana filed a lawsuit Thursday challenging the secretary of state’s decision to disqualify the measure from the November ballot and alleging that Secretary of State Matt Dunlap didn’t review every notary signature that was invalidated.
The Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol is disputing a March 2 determination by Dunlap that 26,779 signatures were invalid because the signature of the notary who signed the petitions didn’t match the signature on file with the office. The campaign needed 61,123 signatures but only provided 51,543 valid signatures, according to Dunlap. The campaign turned in 99,229 signatures on Feb. 1.
