Louisiana: Petitioners need at least 15K signatures for New Orleans Mayor recall

Petitioners now claim they are 15,000 signatures short of the 53,353 valid signatures needed to get the recall of New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell on the ballot. Cantrell has faced complaints about a failure to put New Orleans first as well as recent revelations over her travel expenses, including a $17,000 flight to Paris. Petitioners need 53,353 signatures (20% of registered voters). Petitioners have 180 days (late February) to get the signatures.
