BOSTON — A plan to overturn a new Massachusetts law that will allow those without lawful presence in the country to receive driver’s licenses marked a milestone this week, when the secretary of state’s office informed petitioners they had gathered more than the required number of signatures to make the ballot.
“I can’t share that (exact) number, because it isn’t public, but I will confirm it is over 40,120,” a spokesperson for Secretary of State William Galvin’s office told the Boston Herald Thursday. “That being said, petitions could still be disqualified.”
Signatures have not yet been turned over to Galvin’s office, the spokesperson said, but the campaign has been notified of the numbers certified by local clerks.
