A Mohave County Superior Court Judge has tossed out the recall of Kingman Mayor Jen Miles, which hasn't been scheduled but the enough valid signatures were found to have been handed in. The judge found that the petitions were "not attached to a 'time-and-date-marked copy',,, and some petitions were not personally witnessed by the circulator.
Petitioners seem to have handed in 2367 signatures, of which 1512 were valids. They needed 1384. The recall is over a vote to continue the mask covering requirement to combat the coronavirus pandemic until October 20, 2020.
No word on the recall efforts against Councilmembers David Wayt, James Scott Stehly, SueAnn Mello Keener and Ken Watkins, though petitioners had an extra week to hand those in, so it could be we are waiting (petitioners need 1438 signatures for the council members). Two other councilmembers who voted against the protective mask requirements are not facing recall efforts.
No word yet on whether the petitioners will appeal.
Update: Signatures were handed in, but they failed to get enough to get to the ballot.
I really like your take on the issue. I now have a clear idea on what this matter is all about.. Chatham County
