Louisiana: All but one of 322 signatures against Elton Mayor tossed out

The recall effort against Elton Mayor Kesia Skinner-Lemoine failed in spectacular fashion, with only one of the 322 signatures handed in approved. Petitioners needed 276 (40%).

All but 2 of the signatures lacked a witness signature and date and one of those signatures was deemed not authentic.

Even beyond the lack of witnesses, the signatures were deemed problematic. 48 were not registered, 1 died, 13 were duplicates, 2 had suspended voting records and 5 signatures were missing key information.

The recall is after an investigation by the Secretary of State of voter fraud in last November's election. The claim is that out-of-jurisdiction voters made the difference in the election.
