Anti-Marriage Petition Doesn't Have Enough Signatures

Fairness For All Families issued a press release on the Division of Elections improper counting of petitions by anti-gay marriage groups.

Apparently the "glitch" at the Division of Elections caused an over count of 27,000 signatures for the marriage petition. Instead of hitting the 611.009 mark, the opposition is at 589,020 as of Jan 10th.

HOWEVER, they have until Feb 1st to turn in signatures and that means the Jan 29th Primary gives them an obvious focus to ID the last wave of signatures. In addition, there will be legal battles if they fall short to place this on the ballot that will leave this an open questions and one we will have to continue to organize against. Many states that put all their hopes in defeating this via legal intervention ended up ill prepared when an 11th hour ruling placed it before voters.

Florida election officials failing to do their job properly. Shocking!

Republicans can't even get enough signatures for their favorite wedge issues. This isn't a good sign for them.
