Homo Anti-Gay Referendum Update

Posted by Amy J. Ruiz on Fri, Oct 5 at 10:09 AM

According to the secretary of state’s office, petition number 304—to send HB 2007, the non-discrimination law, to a public vote last fall—met the threshold to head to the counties for signature verification. The anti-gay activists turned in 59,761 signatures once they were sorted.

(Math time: That means the signatures have to have a 92.3 percent validity rate to actually have 55,179 valid signatures, and land on the ballot. The current validity record is 86 percent, while most get in the low 70s.)
