Marijuana advocates suffer lapse of memory, forget to turn in signatures

It turns out the leaders of a drive to legalize possession of up to one ounce of marijuana in Nevada forgot to turn in 6,000 petition signatures.

That threatens to undercut supporters' claims that they collected enough names to qualify for the November ballot.

Clark County Registrar of Voters Larry Lomax says it's too late now, and he can't accept a forgotten box of signatures from petition leader Billy Rogers.

They were due June 15th. Rogers has sent a letter to Lomax suggesting the Committee to Regulate and Control Marijuana may challenge the deadline.

If it fails to qualify in Clark County, the committee will need to qualify in all 13 other counties where leaders say they turned in enough signatures to get a spot on the statewide November ballot.
