BR news: Remember the Tara Wicker recall petition? No signatures were submitted

“Nothing was ever submitted to us,” says registrar Steve Raborn. “The deadline to turn in signatures was Jan. 22.”
Two District 10 residents, along with then-NAACP Baton Rouge President Byron Sharper, filed the petition last summer against Wicker, who was in the spotlight at the time because she had cast the deciding vote to appoint Denise Amoroso to fill her late husband’s council seat.
quote:
To hold a recall election, those who filed the petition would have had to gather some 6,100 signatures of the 18,300 registered voters in District 10—or about 33.3%—within 180 days of filing the petition.
quote:
When reached this afternoon for comment, Sharper deferred to new NAACP Baton Rouge leadership, saying that as the former president, he no longer speaks for the organization. Calls to the local NAACP office were not returned by deadline.

That's because getting signatures requires work, which the NAACP has a strict policy against

Good. Sharper can go frick himself.

Way easier to just rage on social media.

Didn't Chauna Banks call Tara a black Judas?

Good. Agree or disagree with Tara Wicker on issues, but at least she belongs at the grownup table.

If Jesus was black wouldn’t Judas be also?

That is hilarious that they couldn't even get off their asses to get a signature. Who did they expect to carry the water? Gravy?

Truly a demonstrative example of #betterg having zero practical influence of people (not politicians) ... Should be readily publicized.
