According to the Division of Elections website 73, 713 petitions have been
verified. That’s 5,000 over the required amount to trigger the Supreme Court
review.
Campaign Manager, Ben Pollara stated, “We are thrilled at this timely
accomplishment. This is the first major milestone to bringing medical marijuana
before the Florida voters in November 2016. In the next election, voters will
succeed where their elected have failed them, and pass a comprehensive,
compassionate medical marijuana law to serve the hundreds of thousands of sick
and suffering people who are desperate for relief in our state. Without our
volunteer efforts we would not be so well positioned to make the ballot in
December.”
In order to be placed on the ballot United for Care needs the Supreme Court
approval and to collect 683,149 valid petitions by Feb 1, 2016. Last election,
ballot placement was not approved for the dedicated team until the final
hour.
