Texas: Dallas mayor facing recall threats following party switch

Following news that Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson has switched his party registration from Democrat to Republican (after a recent re-election win), there is now talk of a recall. Note that the Dallas Mayoralty is a non-partisan election, so Johnson did not run as a member of a party.

Petitioners would need the signatures of 15% of registered voters in the last election in 60 days to get on the ballot. The Secretary of State's office has the county info, so hard to tell how much that is as of yet. The law specifies the city council is subject to a recall, but it notes that the mayor is the 15th city council member (election in the city as a whole).
