Never Say Uncle.

In the continuing saga of California’s School Success and Opportunity Act (AB 1266), the opposition is rechecking the rejected signatures. The San Diego Union-Tribune reports that,
Opponents of a new law that allows transgender students a choice of which restroom and locker room to use are scouring thousands of signatures that were tossed out in San Diego County and elsewhere, hoping to uncover enough evidence to prove that their referendum should be placed on the November ballot.

But it will not be easy. They must painstakingly double-check each signature for any hint that county elections officials erred. Statewide, nearly 132,000 were disqualified while about 487,500 were found to be valid.

“All we have to do is show that 17,200 were incorrectly declared invalid,” said Brad Dacus, president of the Pacific Justice Institute, which often sides with conservative causes in court. “That’s why it’s early in the game and why we are cautiously optimistic.”
On and on it goes, where it stops no one knows… Meanwhile it is costing the impoverished state millions dollars. Even if by some far out chance that they win it will not change anything because there are other state and federal laws that requires students to be integrated based on their gender identity.
