Nebraska Family Alliance announced Tuesday that their “Let Us Vote” petition referendum collected more than four times the needed signatures to require the Lincoln City Council to rescind or put the so-called “Fairness Ordinance” on the ballot for voters to decide.
“We submitted to the city clerk 1,365 petitions with 18,501 individual signatures,” says executive director Karen Bowling. She says the petition effort only needed 4,137 signatures to stop the ordinance from taking effect. She says the process has begun to verify the signatures.
She says about 340 volunteers of different backgrounds, ages, and nationalities rallied together to collect the signatures.
