re: LaToya Cantrell recall petition has enough signatures before deadline, organizers claim

You really need like 120% of the required amount to be sure.

Wouldnt surprise me at all if she had people signing that were deliberately ineligible so the organizers would fall short after verification

The problem is, through no fault of the organizers, I guarantee there’s a bunch of people who signed it twice, used a fake name that can’t be verified, or signed even though they aren’t registered in Orleans parish. You really need like 120% of the required amount to be sure.

That happens in every recall election, but it seems like this group is independently verifying / throwing out signatures as they go along. This group has been surprisingly well funded and organized.

Some signatures will get tossed. They may fall short. In fact, I still think it's at best a 1 in 5 chance they are successful. But I've been impressed with how professional this effort has been.

They were checking IDs and voter records
