The Orleans Parish Registrar of Voters says some of the signatures they received were Disney character names. Danielle Duplessis Hammond with the Registrar’s office read off some of the names
Cut 13 (13) “…Barney Rubble.”
When the Disney names came into question, recall organizer Eileen Carter says in the rush to submit the names, some false names were placed with valid signatures.
The Orleans Parish Registrar of Voters is confident the results are accurate.
