In case you have not already heard the news, this week the Board of Elections certified 47,288 valid signatures on the in-state tuition petition. This is an amazing accomplishment and illustrates the intense amount of work that everyone has put into this effort, particularly Delegates Neil Parrott and Pat McDonough who have led this charge!
But, our work is not yet done. To get this measure on the ballot, the Board of Elections must certify 55,736 signatures. That means we need over 8,000 more signatures by June 30th to meet this requirement. Additionally, we have to account for the fact that the Board of Elections will disqualify some signatures (and potential court challenges from the ACLU and Casa de Maryland) – so even more signatures are needed.
