Campaign organizers seeking to recall embattled Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón submitted 717,000 signatures to election officials Wednesday, July 6, hoping to force an election that could oust him after less than two years on the job.
A group of sign-waving recall supporters, many of them families of murder victims critical of Gascon's policies, greeted a truck that delivered the petitions to the Los Angeles County Registrar's Office in Norwalk. Supporters need 566,857 signatures — representing 10% of the total registered voters in the county at the time of the November 2020 election that Gascon won — to qualify the recall for the ballot.
Supporters hope the extra signatures will provide a sufficient cushion to allow for disqualified signatures.
"It was a Herculean effort with a lot of moving parts to obtain the signatures," said former Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley, who is co-chairman of campaign to recall Gascon.
Wednesday was the county deadline to submit the recall petitions. Cooley predicted that if the signatures are certified, Gascón will be turned out of office in a landslide.
30 days to verify signatures
The county will have 30 days to verify the signatures before scheduling a recall vote.
"They are still determining whether they will count the entire submission, or only a 5% sample batch," campaign spokesman Tim Lineberger said. "If the recall ultimately qualifies, it would likely take place in a special election early next year. For it to appear on the November ballot, the process would likely need to be expedited."
