Michigan: Petitioners appeal judge's ruling rejecting recall effort against Lakeshore Public School Board

Petitioners are appealing a Judge decision to uphold a clerk's ruling that they did not get enough signatures to force a recall against Berrien County' Lakeshore Public School Board President Jason Beckrow and Secretary Rachel Wade.

The recalls were part of a large group of efforts against Berrien County officials, all over board members support for mask policies designed to combat the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. 

Petitioners needed 2156 valids for each. They handed in 2388 for Becrow and got 2052 valids and 2400 for Wade, with only 2019 found valids. Numerous people signed the wrong petition form (not the municipality that they are registered to vote in) and some of the addresses were filled out by someone else.
