Wow! Wonder how this will poll in November?
Honestly, as an Oregonian, I am completely mystified as to why the petitioners thought it a good idea to challenge the right of the people of the great state of Nebraska, to place a measure on the ballot, where the ballot access threshold was already clearly met.
Lawsuits being lawsuits can always happen later
after a ballot measure is approved in the event that ballot initiatives are poorly written, have unintended legal loopholes, etc....
We have seen that happen before in Oregon where various State Ballot Initiatives were struck down after passage for various reasons, but this preemptive strike likely appears to many Citizens of Nebraska as mean-spirited and an attempt to undermine their fundamental rights under Nebraska law to at least vote on this initiative.
I suspect this will backfire against the challengers to the proposed initiative.
