D.A. recall effort: Recall Gascón supporters to deliver hundreds of thousands of petitions today. Do they have enough? Now on ABC7
A group seeking to recall Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón said it has collected enough signatures to qualify for the ballot.
It was not immediately clear how many signatures will be submitted on Wednesday, which is the deadline for the petitions to be turned over to the county. In a statement Tuesday, recall organizers said residents"have spoken in a resounding way," noting the sheer number of people who have signed petitions and pointing to 37 cities in the county that have taken"no-confidence" votes in Gascón.
"On Wednesday, we will be submitting the required signatures to initiate a recall," according to a statement from the Recall DA George Gascón campaign. "The sheer magnitude of this effort, and time and investment required to get to this point, show how strong the public desire is to remove George Gascón from office. From day one, this recall has been led by the very victims who Gascón has abandoned, ignored and dismissed. When the recall qualifies, he will not be able to ignore them any longer."
