Opponents of the Count My Vote initiative proclaimed Tuesday that they have persuaded enough people to remove signatures from the petition to block it from the ballot, although supporters say that remains in doubt and possible legal challenges loom.
Meanwhile, the battle against a proposed medical marijuana ballot measure included a surreal midnight showdown at Davis County government offices, attempts to make end runs around official deadlines, and reports of an LDS bishop calling church members to pitch in on a last-ditch attempt to persuade petition signers to withdraw their support.
It may take until June 1 for all the dust to settle.
