The Fairness for All Families Coalition is engaging in a "primary day of action" Tuesday as the Florida primary proceeds, with over 500 volunteers blanketing 178 precincts across the state to educate voters about the constitutional marriage amendment drive being waged by the conservative group Florida4Marriage. Getting the "Marriage Protection Amendment" on the Florida ballot requires 611,109 signatures from 13 different congressional districts across the state. Florida4Marriage originally claimed they had met that requirement, but within the past couple weeks, miscounts and signature duplications were uncovered that left the drive anywhere from 22,000 to 27,000 signatures short and one congressional district shy. The deadline for final signatures is February 1.
