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 after it was determined there are about 25-thousand inactive voters on the Orleans Parish voter rolls.
The number of verified signatures needed is now just 45 thousand, it was more than 49-thousand. If verified by March 22 a recall election would be held in October.

CUT 12(11) “…to be successful.”
