Michigan: Candidate jumps in to Delta County Commissioner recall race

 A replacement candidate has gotten on the ballot for the May recall of Delta County Commissioner Dave Moyle. Kelli Van Ginhoven is running as a Democrat in the race. 

Petitioners handed in 823 signatures to get the the on the ballot and 671 were validated. They needed 666. The recall is over their votes to fire the County Administrator. 

Signatures have also been handed in against Delta County Commissioner Robert Barron, and though a copyist error (not including his full name in one spot and misspelling administrator) led to questions of whether to toss out them out. The County Attorney held that this wasn't a reason to invalidate the whole thing (based on a 2019 Supreme Court ruling).

Petitioners handed in 1235 and need 1001 valids.  Signatures were previously handed in against  Delta County Commissioner Dave Moyle. 823 were handed in and they need 666 valids. There is also a recall effort outstanding against Commissioners Robert Petersen. 

Petitioners will need 775 for Petersen.

Update: Signatures were handed in against Petersen.
