Lawyers for New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell are expected to take legal action after the number of signatures needed to trigger a recall election of the mayor has been decreased. Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin reached an agreement with the NoLaToya campaign on a number of signatures after it was determined there are about 25-thousand inactive voters on the Orleans Parish voter rolls. Cantrell says recall effort is now an attempt to disenfranchise Black voters. Ardoin says that is not true…:
CUT 04(12) “…be changed.”
The recall now needs only about 45-thousand confirmed signatures to go to the Governor. Organizers says they have over 49-thousand.
