Nevada: Douglas County School Board members facing recall threats

There is a discussion about recalling Douglas County School Board members Susan Jansen, Doug Englekirk, David Burns and Katherine Dickerson over complaints about violating open meeting laws. Petitioners also complain about board members looking at their phones during meetings.

Petitioners would need at least 7314 signatures (supposedly from voters who voted in the 2022 election, though I wonder if that would hold up). Additionally, the article notes that there is provision to have petitioners pay to count the petition, but again that may not hold up.

The last petition attempt was against four county commissioners in 1995, and the last time a recall got to the ballot was in 1991, when the Genoa Town Board members survived. This was apparently the start of a state-wide "recall craze."
