Georgia: Recall attempt against Richmond County Sheriff fails first hurdle

The first attempt to get a recall on the ballot against Richmond County Sheriff Richard Roundtree failed, as petitioners did not get the 100 signatures for the first stage of the recall. The recall is over complaints from the lead petition that the office didn't "sufficiently investigated a driver involved in a crash in his driveway." If they get over the first hurdle, petitioners would need 30% of registered voters to get on the ballot.
