The Osage River Gaming & Convention Committee has filed suit in an attempt to get the Lake of the Ozarks casino measure on the ballot in November.
The suit alleges the proposal collected more than enough signatures for the ballot. The Missouri secretary of state's office recently announced that it did not.
“Verifying every signature on multiple initiative petitions this summer has been a very long process for election officials and we realize mistakes happen,” the group said in a statement announcing the lawsuit. “However, (Osage River Gaming & Convention) has always been confident their initiative petition contained a sufficient number of valid signatures from legal voters to qualify for placement on the Nov. 5 general election ballot and are now asking the court to do so.”
