Minnesota: Columbia Heights Councilmember files suit to stop recall effort

 A lawsuit has been filed by Columbia Heights Councilmember Kay (K.T.) Jacobs claiming that the recall does not meet Minnesota's malfeasance standard. 

The recall is over claims that JAcobs made inappropriate racial comments to another councilmember when he was running for office (She questioned whether he was really biracial and allegedly used a fake name while doing so -- Jacobs blames a family member for calling). The council has already voted to ask her to step down. 

Petitioners handed in over 2000 signatures and 200 were found insufficient. Petitioners need 1880 signatures to get on the ballot by July 11 and they plan on curing the ones with issues.
