The Recall effort against Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon refuses to end, as petitioners are claiming that their review should lead to a huge reversal, moving from missing the recall by 46,000 signatures to having over 6000 more vaild signatures due to what they claim is the Registrar's improper invalidation methods.
The focus seems to be on the voter roll question, as petitioner needed 10% of registered voters. Petitioners are arguing that voter rolls were inflated, so the 566,857 needed signatures were higher than needed (the claim is that they should have needed 540,338 and -- under their review -- got 546,234). We discussed this a little with the cancelled signature category.
It is not clear from the article whether the rest of the complaint has changed from earlier. At that time, they seem to focus on non-matching signatures, thought that was only a small part of the invalidation (9,490). They are also focused on the not registered totals, which is the vast majority of the rejected signatures (though it is in-line with the failure rate of other recalls). Here's an extensive look at the question and definitely recommend the Red State article on it.
