Los Angeles County’s top elections official was ordered by a judge to turn over additional voter information to a committee seeking to overturn the failed recall of District Attorney George Gascon.
The committee claims Registrar Dean Logan improperly dismissed thousands of voter signatures seeking to place an election on the ballot to remove Gascon from office for malfeasance. The initiative failed by 46,807 signatures on Aug. 15, but undaunted committee volunteers have been combing through petitions looking for errors, a process that has been thwarted by Logan, a lawsuit claims.
“I’m not going to take 18 months to do this — you’ve got 400 [temporary] workers. Bring them back,” Chalfant said to county attorneys. The county also limited computer access to previous signatures on file for comparison to 9,490 mismatched signatures and limited inspection hours, along with the number of volunteers allowed on site.
“He should have the flexibility for requirements to his own [office] space,” Caplan said, adding, “It’s hard to fill positions.”
