Campaign To Recall Far-Left DA To Sue LA County For ‘Wrongfully’ Rejecting Signatures, Using ‘Inflated’ Voter Rolls

A campaign attempting to recall Los Angeles’ far-left District Attorney George Gascon will file for an injunction against the Los Angeles County Registrar for “wrongfully” rejecting signatures and using “inflated” voter rolls, according to a Monday statement.

The campaign, Recall District Attorney George Gascon, identified “clear, obvious, and legitimate challenges” to at least 39% of the roughly 200,000 invalidated signatures in its recent recall effort, its statement said. Gascon, elected in 2020, has been ridiculed for his loose crime polices that prohibit prosecutors from seeking the death penalty, ended cash bail and prevented minors from being tried as adults regardless of the nature of the crime, the campaign website reported.

To enact a recall, the campaign group is required to collect signatures from 10% of Los Angeles County registered voters, but current voter rolls are “inflated” making it hard to qualify, the statement said. The campaign referenced estimates from “independent and non-partisan data analysts,” suggesting that the current voter roll was artificially inflated by 208,000 to 515,000 people.

The group claims that the Los Angeles County Registrar “has placed arbitrary and capricious limitations on the review process that substantially limit review hours, workstations, number of reviewers, access to information necessary to determine the legitimacy of a signature invalidation, and more,” the release reported. The current restrictions enforced by the registrar will set the Recall District Attorney George Gascon campaign back by at least one year.
