LOS ANGELES—The Recall George Gascón campaign passed 450,000 signatures with 50 days left to qualify for the general election ballot in November, organizers announced on May 18. The campaign needs 566,857 signatures from registered Los Angeles County voters, or 10 percent of the total current registered voters, by the submission deadline on July 6.
