BOSTON (AP) - Internet poker fans won't be getting a chance to push for a ballot question legalizing the game.

Attorney General Martha Coakley ruled Wednesday that the initiative didn't meet the legal requirements to secure a place on next year's ballot.

Also barred were two mortgage modification proposals and a question requiring a certain percentage of the state budget go to local aid.

Dozens of other questions - including a proposal to eliminate tolls, several questions to roll back the state income tax, a question to require whale-safe commercial fishing and a proposal to lift the state cap on charter schools - cleared the hurdle.

Now comes the hard part. Supporters must collect the signatures of at least 66,593 Massachusetts voters by Dec. 2.
