Arizona: Recall effort against four Maricopa County Supervisors fails to turn in signatures

The recall effort against four Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, Chairman Clint Hickman (R), Vice Chair Jack Sellers (R) and Supervisors Bill Gates (R) and Steve Gallardo (D), failed.

The recall effort was launched after the board voted 4-1 to ignore subpoenas issued by the  head of the state Senate's Judiciary Committee, Senator Eddie Farnsworth (R) looking for an audit of the county's election software. The Supervisors instead filed a suit to see if the subpoenas were legal, as there are questions of whether it would illegally expose private information about voters. The court overturned the Board of Supervisors.

There is still an effort ongoing against Steve Churci (R) (who was the one vote against) -- those petitions are due in June.

Petitioners needed a wide range of signature amounts -- from 49,750 to 110,110 to get on the ballot.

The same group, People AZ Alliance, is trying to recall Governor Doug Ducey, Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, Superintendent of Public Instruction Kathy Hoffman and State Senator Paul Boyer.
