Florida: Miami Commissioner recall runs into legal questions about deadlines

The recall effort against Miami Commissioner Joe Carollo is now facing difficulty, as the City Clerk claims that petitions with more than 1900 signatures were handed in after the deadline. There's significant debate as to whether state law requires petitions to have already been handed in.

Petitioners would need 1577 signatures in 30 days and then 4738 signatures in 60 days.
