Louisiana: Elton Mayor facing petitions

Petitions have been filed against Elton Mayor Kesia Skinner Lemoine over complaints about election irregularities in her 2022 victory. There have been claims that three dozen people had questionable credentials. Some voters claimed homestead exemptions in other parishes or used vacant lots or homes that didn't exist. Lemoine won a runoff 211-178. Brandon Kelly, who lost the runoff, seems to be one of the organizers of the recall.

Petitioners would need 276 signatures (40% of registered voters) in 90 days to get on the ballot.
