 Other groups said they had less of a steep hill to climb. For example, the group behind the abortion amendment said they were about 5,000 signatures away from reaching their goal. An attorney I spoke with, David Couch, said he believes the casino amendment will make it on the ballot, thanks in part to having more than a million dollars in the bank to help pay canvassers. And it's important to note that most of these groups said they would be making one final push to collect signatures, especially at large gatherings on the Fourth of July holiday.
