Backers of an effort to legalize medicinal and recreational marijuana use say they have collected more than enough valid petition signatures to qualify for the 2015 ballot. ResponsibleOhio members say they have collected more than 550 thousand signatures. The group also met an additional requirement by hitting signature minimums in 70 of 88 counties. A voter registration effort was conducted in tandem with the signature gathering. The group estimates 10 percent of petition signers also initiated or updated their voter registrations.
