Virginia: Three Charlottesville City Council members facing recall efforts

Once again, there's an attempt to recall members of the City Council with a very heavy race component to it. The previous effort was led by a petitioner accused of a being a white supremacist. Now, Councilor Mike Signer, Kathy Galvin and Wes Bellamy are facing recall efforts. The issue appears to be focused on the council's changing the named of Lee and Jackson parks as well as removing Confederate monuments.

Petitioner needs 1580 signatures to get on the ballot. Petitioner would still need to meet the malfeasance standard, which does seem unlikely based on past cases.
