LINCOLN- A Lancaster County District Court Judge Susan Strong will decide soon from a set of new briefs filed Tuesday whether to dismiss a lawsuit against Nebraska’s two medical cannabis ballot measures. John Kuehn of Heartwell, a veterinarian, rancher, former state senator, and former member of the Nebraska State Board of Health, brought the lawsuit naming Secretary of State Bob Evnen and the three sponsors of the Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana campaign: Lincoln State Sen. Anna Wishart, campaign manager Crista Eggers, and former State Sen. Adam Morfeld.

Kuehn’s lawyers wrote that the “indignation” at Kuehn’s decision to pursue the case is “misplaced,” alleging thousands of allegedly fraudulent signatures that are enough to disqualify the efforts. Kuehn has been a leader in “Smart Approaches to Marijuana,” a national organization that seeks to prevent “another big tobacco.”

The Wishart-Eggers-Morfeld brief argued that Kuehn “requests the equivalent of a recount” and that he implies that he is “best equipped to make important election decisions” that already went through a robust process with various local resources and tools to determine validity.
