Oregon: Josephine County Commissioner claims handbook wasn't followed by using statistical sampling method

The upcoming recall vote against Josephine County Commissioner John West, scheduled for December 17, has lead to by West filing an injunction claiming that the recall handbook wasn't followed.  The claim is that they used a statistical sampling method to check the signatures (checking 10%) instead of checking every single one. Petitioners needed over 4500 signatures.

The recall is apparently led by former Commissioner and state Representative Lily Morgan. Both are Republicans.

The recall is over claims of insufficient law enforcement funding, defunding a service district and an auctioning off of timberland. 

One of the other Commissioners, Herman Baertschiger, was not targeted as he did not run for reelection. He did face a failed recall attempt in 2022.
