With 1,750 verified voter signatures on petition pages firmly in hand, Mitch Lofton will submit a completed petition to the City of Copperas Cove secretary’s office today.
 
Lofton headed up a petition team which began gathering verified signatures in April for a petition to put the liquor sales option on the November 2016 ballot.
 
The team knew it had 60 days to collect a minimum of 1,467 signatures and used the time period before the official petition time began to promote voter registration awareness.
