Never Say Die

You probably by now heard that the conservatives did not gather enough verified signatures to get the repeal of California’s AB1266, The School Success and Opportunity Act that integrates trans-students in to schools and you doubtlessly thought “That’s over.” Wrong! Like a bad penny they never go away…

A California referendum on a proposed transgender student law failed Monday when insufficient valid signatures were turned in to the state.

The California secretary of state’s office posted the final tally on its website Monday evening showing the petition drive lacked 17,276 valid signatures to put the referendum on the November ballot.
[…]
Privacy for All Students and referendum proponent Gina Gleason have “people lined up” to go to county offices Tuesday morning to review the rejected signatures, Karen England, co-chairwoman of the group, said Monday night.
Yup, they are still going to fight it. They are going to cost the impoverish state to spend millions more on a recount and legal fees.

They want to defend their right to be bigots to the last penny in the state coffers.
