A Missouri judge will decide by Tuesday on a last-minute legal challenge to a November referendum aiming to legalize sports betting.

The challenge was brought by a pair of Missouri voters who contend Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft made procedural and administrative errors in his certification of the signatures submitted by the campaign.

The plaintiffs argued Ashcroft certified more than 750 voter signatures which he should have rejected for various reasons. Those signatures were collected from the First Congressional District, which the challengers say would not have met the legal criteria for ballot access if the Secretary of State’s office had employed the proper procedure and rejected ballots properly.
