The No BESS group has received word that their petition could not be certified by Harvey County Clerk Rick Piepho because he couldn’t verify the signatures were valid, as he stated in a letter to Halstead City Clerk Julie Wait. Piepho stated: “While we can confirm the registration status of the signers, none of the pages or individual signature entries include a date indicating when the signature was collected. As a result, we cannot confirm whether the individuals were registered voters at the time of signing or whether the signatures were gathered within the 180-day window required by statute.”
