LOS ANGELES, Calif.—The effort to recall Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón reached another milestone as of May 1 surpassing 400,000 signatures and raising over $6 million to support the campaign.
“This is the make-or-break phase of the recall, and if we can pull off this monumental task, Gascon will be voted out in a landslide,” recall spokesman Tim Lineberger said in a statement.
To trigger a recall election, the campaign must collect 566,857 verifiable signatures from registered Los Angeles County voters, or 10 percent of the total current registered voters, by July 6 to make it onto the November ballot.
In addition to paid and volunteer signature gathering, campaign leaders said they are preparing to mail out petitions with pre-paid return envelopes to targeted county voters.
