The Secretary of State’s office on Friday confirmed that both the pro-choice and anti-abortion petitions met the requirements to appear on the state ballot. That means each petition obtained more than the required 136,000 valid signatures from 5% of registered voters in at least 38 of Nebraska’s counties.
“Nebraska has never before had two conflicting petition efforts make the same ballot,” the release from Evnen’s office states.
Anti-abortion petitioners told 6 News in July that they had collected 205,344 signatures.
Pro-choice petitioners said in July that they had submitted 207,608 signatures.
If both pass; then what??.. Dogs and cats living together.. Mass confusion..
If both passed, only the amendment with the highest vote total would become law. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/7/9/2252537/-Morning-Digest-Two-red-states-could-vote-to-restore-abortion-rights-this-fall#1
Whether that's team cat or team dog I'll leave up to you.
The PTA will disband!
I want to know who votes yes to both. I can see someone voting no to both, out of some moral/process objection to direct democracy. I just can't envision who would be voting two yeses.
A pure contrarian. They do exist.
