PHOENIX (AP) — Abortion-rights advocates in Arizona have submitted more than enough signatures to put the issue on November’s ballot in the key swing state. Organizers on Wednesday said they submitted far above the 383,923 required from registered voters. The measure would add an amendment to the state constitution providing a fundamental right to an abortion if voters approve it. County election officials have until Aug. 22 to verify whether enough of the petition signatures are valid and provide results to the Arizona secretary of state’s office. Activists in Nebraska and Arkansas also are planning to submit signatures this week for ballot measures on abortion.
