Cole Co. judge upholds tossing out petition signatures

A Cole County judge has upheld Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan's decision to toss out thousands of signatures on two eminent domain ballot petitions. Judge Richard Callahan ruled that petition circulators must be properly registered with the Secretary of State's office; otherwise, the signatures they collect cannot be counted. The decision affects around 4,300 signatures from the St. Louis area. Laura Egerdal is Communications Director for Carnahan. "You know, at this point, (the) statute is very clear that we are prohibited from accepting signatures that were collected by unregistered circulators," Egerdal said. Ron Calzone, who chairs the group Missouri Citizens for Property Rights, disagrees.
