According to the LA Times, To
put Gascon's job on the ballot, the campaign seeking his ouster needed
to gather 566,857 valid signatures by mid-July (2022); the figure reflects 10%
of the people who were eligible to vote in the election cycle when he
won office in November 2020. The L.A. County registrar-recorder/county
clerk's office said about the 520,000 of the signatures submitted were
valid.
According to Breit Bart discussing the Judicial Watch Lawsuit,
In its statement, Judicial Watch noted the lawsuit alleged several key facts, which included, the following:
According to the Judicial Watch Lawsuit
What
does all of this mean? It could mean that when the LA county registrar
mandated that the Recall George Gascon Petition drive needed 566,857
votes to qualify, it was based on falsely inflated voter registration
rolls of 5,668,570.
According to Breit Bart
If
Los Angeles and California have been routinely not cleaning up voter
rolls since the National Voter Registration Act was passed in 1993, the
non compliance has helped insulate elected officials from voter recalls
by artificially inflating the number of valid petition signatures needed
to place a recall of an elected official on the ballot.
It
seems plausible that a judge would prefer to rule in favor of a
retroactive reduction in the number of valid petition signatures needed
to recall George Gascon, or, it would incentivize non-compliance of
Federal Law such as NVRA with the worst penalty being nothing but,
compliance? How would that be fair to the Voters who were thwarted from
being heard due to bloated petition signature requirements?
I
am not sure how a lawyer for the recall George Gascon Petition would
argue in court for a retroactively assessing a lower number of required
signatures, but there may be an argument waiting to be made in court
that would make the 2022 George Gascon Recall Effort instantly valid and
whole.
If
a judge did nothing more than agree that an instant reduction from 112%
to 100% of all LA adult age voters as a way to establish a new, lower
Gascon Valid Signature number, the 2022 George Gascon Recal petition
would have passed! When we subtract 12% from 5,668,570
overinflated LA Voter Rolls it would decrease LA Voter Rolls by 680,228
voters. This would make the NEW 100% total voter rolls in LA 4,988,342.
10% of 4,988,342 equals 498,348 valid signatures needed for the Gascon
Recall to go through. The "failed" 2022 Gascon Recall netted 520,00
valid signatures! The 2022 George Gascon Recall should be declared as
having reached the proper signature total, AS IS!
The
2022 George Gascon Recall Petition netted 21,500 more valid signatures
than were legally required based on 100% of all LA Adult Voters!
Put
another way, the L.A. Registrar's Office required 68,000 additional
valid signatures than were legally required for the George Gascon Recall
Petition Drive to have been approved.
