A Nebraska district court has confirmed that ballots regarding two medical cannabis measures will be counted. Lancaster County District Judge Susan Strong rejected a request to halt the counting process, emphasizing that the Secretary of State had already certified the measures and voting had commenced. The lawsuit was brought by John Kuehn, who raised concerns about the validity of signatures collected for the measures. Despite claims of irregularities, Strong found no compelling evidence to stop the election process. Advocates for legalization assert that the public supports the measures significantly.
