"PHOENIX — Hundreds of witnesses came to court Monday in downtown Phoenix for a trial over whether a proposal requiring the use of more renewable energy in Arizona should be barred from appearing on the November ballot.
Most of the witnesses at the five-day trial had gathered signatures from voters on behalf of the campaign to put the Clean Energy for a Healthy Arizona proposal on the ballot.
The trial began with an unknown number of signature petitions being thrown out because the people who gathered them had felony convictions and couldn’t prove that their civil rights had been restored. Arizona law bars signature gatherers from having felony convictions."
