Why PAiNT Research Is Tracking This Countdown
We’re keeping these briefs short, sharp, and honest because Floridians deserve clarity in a moment when clarity is scarce. Many who signed the Adult‑Use Cannabis petition still believe their signature is safely counted — yet tens of thousands have been removed, and the state’s numbers have not changed in the latest update.
With three days left before the hard February 1 verification deadline, the reality is simple:
🌅 MORNING BRIEF — Florida Marijuana “Three Days to Clarity”
It is entirely possible the amendment will not make the November 2026 ballot.
Not because support is lacking — but because the verification window is closing and the numbers have stalled.
📊 STATEWIDE STATUS — No Change in Numbers
Verified signatures posted: 760,002
Required: 880,062
Remaining deficit: 120,060 verified signatures
Latest update: No change since the last report.
Florida law does not extend the deadline even though February 1 falls on a Sunday.
All signatures must be verified — not just submitted — by Sunday at 11:59 PM Eastern.
📍 COUNTY WATCH — Miami‑Dade, Broward, Orange, Hillsborough, Duval
- Miami‑Dade: Verification rolling; many inactive voters unaware their signatures were invalidated.
- Broward: Fraud investigations continue; some batches under review.
- Orange: Steady verification; early‑cycle signers should confirm status.
- Hillsborough: High volume; re‑sign if possible.
- Duval: Slower pace; confirm your petition was validated.
⚠️ WHY THE AMENDMENT IS AT RISK
- The deficit remains large with no movement in posted totals.
- Inactive‑voter signatures, non‑resident circulator batches, and form‑text issues have removed tens of thousands.
- Verification ends in three days — no Monday extension.
- Legal disputes continue to reshape what counts.
📝 WHAT YOU CAN DO TODAY
- Check your voter status — inactive signatures were not counted.
- Contact your Supervisor of Elections to confirm your petition was verified.
- Re‑sign if possible in your county.
- Tell others — most signers have no idea their signature may have been removed.
🟦 Closing Note — Steven Smith, Inspirational Technologies | PAiNT Research
“The numbers haven’t moved — and the clock doesn’t stop.
With three days left, transparency matters more than ever. PAiNT Research will continue reporting the truth so every Floridian understands where this amendment stands and what their voice still means.”
Time is counting Down to Count Your Voice on Legalization
We will continue producing these morning briefs daily through February 1 and add an evening “rapid update” edition when major changes occur.
