California: More wrangling over Alameda County DA recall

Some more follow-up articles on the Alameda District Attorney Pamela Price recall.

The campaign is pushing for a special election to take place before the November general election, though the article doesn't note if it is due to the charter provision requiring one in 35-40 days or the state law passed by Measure B giving 88-125 days (but extending to 180 if it can be tied in with a general election). 

Additionally, while still no word from the Clerk, the recall proponents have made it clear that they believe the odd "occupation" requirement is responsible for the high rejection rate, and if that were not included, there would be over 100,000 valid signatures. 

On the other side of the ledger, the Price campaign is arguing that the Registrar didn't verify in 10 days and that the fact that the county rejected the (likely unconstitutional) all signature-gatherers must be county residents provision should result in the recall be invalidated. 

Here's some other articles which include my comments:
