They aren't even close lol. They need something like 10k more signatures just to hit the minimum number. Ask any past recall organizer and they will tell you you need at least 50% more than that required number because a huge percentage will get thrown out for one reason or another.
You need 150% or more to be successful and they might not even hit 100%

The recall campaign should use this as an opportunity to get all the names infront of the public so people can make sure their name was recorded.
Too many idiots signed twice because they didn't think their first time was legit.
Again, shite planning

It makes even more people want to sign the recall of Destroya Can`tell
Why would you think that? I have a buddy helping to collect signatures and he’s been met with hesitancy by city workers/business owners afraid of retribution.
---------------------------------------------------------
That`s terrible that people won`t sign now because of fear of retaliation. So it looks like this Natsi move makes people want even more to sign the recall but because of the fear they will not sign. This BS needs national attention now!!!

Until the petion is submitted the names on the petition should be the work product of the organization. The media should have no legal right to the list until it is submitted and files for public record.
Right, that's what I take from it. If it hasn't been filed yet, then it is not public record. If it's not public record then the public (Advocate/Picayune) does not have a right to that information.
eta: Guess I'm completely wrong and it's public record starting with the first signature (according to other posters).

The relevant language
quote:
B. Upon the signature of the first elector, the recall petition, including the name, address, and signature of each elector who has signed thereon, shall be a public record. The chairman, or the vice chairman when acting as the chairman, shall be the custodian thereof. The petition and the custodian shall be subject to all of the provisions of R.S. 44:31 et seq.

If I lived there I would sign it and I would love to release my name.
frick those losers. They can't even prosecute violent criminals who are shooting people and now they want to come after every day citizens who are exercising their constitutional rights?
I would love to say "come and get me you fricking filth"

So once again, these recall organizers clearly have no idea wtf they are doing.

It was always going to be a long shot, regardless of who organized it or who funded it. Recalls are generally unlikely to succeed especially given LA state law, and Orleans Parish is one of the last places something like this could ever work, for a lot of reasons.
I will give them credit -- they are working like hell to get the signatures. They had two people at Whole Foods uptown this morning with clipboards trying to get signatures.
John Georges -- what can you say about him. I will refrain from comment.

Well is some reporter or anyone going to ask John Georges why they did this?

Maybe some or most ppl only want their names out there if there are enough to actually attempt to recall her and not out there for retaliation if they don't get enough signatures. I don't find that to be a ridiculous though process given the current administration.

to release all the names of the people who have signed thus far.

Not sure the exact facts of the petition, but I would think until the petition is submitted, it’s not public record. But once it’s submitted, it is indeed public record and the government must release the document. But do the private citizens who organized the petition have to release the document?

The shitshow to follow the recall will be entertainment.
It's already a complete shitshow and entertaining. Trash piling up, the mayor supporting carjackers in court, Latoya getting dicked down by Officer Vappie when both are supposed to be working, etc.

I understand this, but apparently that's not what the law says.

One could make a case that the St. George idea is bad for the BR Metro as a whole. LaToya ain't good for shite.
Sure you could and they tried and were outvoted.
Once that happened they should have let SG people have their way.
And honestly, why should our city leaders snd movers and shakers support our mayor who had proven to be ineffective and not a good administrator, a crime fighter and a sneak?

Yep. I guess they could try to pretend they don't have any signatures if they don't get enough, but that's probably some legal shite there too.

That’s another sign this is an astroturfed recall effort
Were they deliberately hoping to get signatures at Mardi Gras Parades? Or were they not intending to be present at any of them?

They were idiots who didn't realize what was 180 days out.
It may be insensitive or whatever, but this effort was led buy a guy who is mentally retarded. Like, lives off the government level mental handicap.

I mean, no one else was doing shite and no one was likely going to do anything, so at least they are making the effort.
They have been all over the place with recall tents (I signed early as a result), they have been all over 870 am and on other media talking about it for months and they mailed recall ballots to everyone in New Orleans. Everyone knows about this effort including many outside of New Orleans (so it ain't like the message hasn't gotten out). The truth is that there are so many absolute dumbasses in New Orleans that the best recall effort in creation would still be challenging in New Orleans because the majority of the people are imbeciles.
The fact that they're claiming they are within 15,000 signatures of getting the total they need to force a recall (even if a number get thrown out and they don't get another signature) is a miracle in itself.
