Massachusetts: Dracut signatures tossed out

The 301 signatures in the recall of Selectman Cathy Richardson were tossed out because of a technicality (the petition was not prefaced by an affidavit stating that signatories affirmed, under penalty of perjury, that they wanted to recall Richardson). This was just the first stage, as petitioners need 2035 signatures to get on the ballot. This was over charges of animal cruelty.
