TIME Coalition files suit to restore signatures

The TIME Coalition filed a complaint in Maricopa County Superior Court Wednesday to restore about 10,000 petition signatures that were deemed invalid by the Arizona Secretary of State and the Maricopa County Recorder's office.

TIME was hoping to put an initative on the November ballot that would raise the state sales tax by 1 cent to pay for improvements and expansion in Arizona's transportation infrastructure. However, the Secretary of State and Maricopa County ruled the initiative did not have enough signatures to qualify, after it found thousands to be invalid for a variety of reasons.

The coalition maintains that many of those deemed invalid should be reinstated because their disqualification hinged on "technical errors," such as a signer giving a nickname instead of his or her first full name, listing a P.O. box instead of physical address and similar problems. Secretary of State Jan Brewer has insisted that her office's reasons for disqualifying the signatures that were kicked off were sound.

Both Brewer and Helen Purcell, the Maricopa County Recorder, were named as defendants, and their response is due on Tuesday. The next hearing in the matter has been scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 21.
