Enough valid signatures were gathered to put a charter amendment on the ballot that, if approved by voters, would override the city of Gainesville’s civil rights protection for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals.
The Supervisor of Elections checked 8,747 signatures submitted by the registered political action committee, Citizens for Good Public Policy. Of those signatures, 2,368 were rejected for various reasons including duplicate signatures.
