Minnesota: Petitioners claim to have signatures for recall of Two Harbors Mayor

Petitioners claim they have enough signatures for the recall of Two Harbors Mayor Chris Swanson, collecting more than 600. They need about 450 valids. They recall is seemingly over claims that he used a podcast to discuss an underwater hotel in Lake Superior, thereby using his title as mayor to attract investors, and plans to fund city projects with cryptocurrency. 

Swanson was one of six Minnesota mayors to endorse Trump in September, which has also led to complaints (though does not seem to be the basis of the recall). 

Minnesota is a strict malfeasance standard/judicial recall state and nearly all petitions (but one!) that I've seen have been rejected at that stage. Interesting provision in the charter -- if there are less than two years in the term, the council appoints a replacement. If there are more, than there is a special election.
