Signature gatherers in Washington have one less day
Tim Eyman sent out an email today, alerting reporters and his supporters that the Office of the Secretary of State won’t accept the petitions and signatures on July 3, which is a Friday and, as it turns out, a federal holiday. That moves the deadline to Thursday, July 2, for filing roughly 240,000 valid voter signatures. State elections officials notified initiative sponsors on June 8, spokesman David Ammons of the office of the Secretary of State says.
