General counsel Lindsey Wakely said 12 signers of the Justice for All petition did not remember signing the petition.

Every individual contacted from the We the People party petition reportedly remembered signing their name, according to local outlet Port City Daily.

State election officials previously confirmed that the We the People party submitted more than the 13,865 valid signatures necessary to register as a political party ahead of the 2024 election. The Justice for All party similarly turned in more than the minimum number of signatures necessary.
