A spokesman for a campaign to allow medical marijuana in Missouri said the proposal likely won’t go to voters this year.
New Approach Missouri spokesman Jack Cardetti said last week a Cole County circuit judge won’t count at least some contested petition signatures needed to get the measure on the Nov. 8 ballot.
Secretary of State Jason Kander previously said the measure fell about 2,200 signatures short after local election authorities threw out thousands of signed petitions. Issues included registered voters who signed petitions for the wrong county.
New Approach Missouri went to court to try to overturn some of those invalidated signatures.
