The group working to recall Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón said it has collected the necessary number of signatures required to put the matter before voters. The Recall George Gascón campaign told Fox News it received over 30,000 petitions over the past few days in an effort to gather the 567,857 needed by July 6. The group said it hit the target Wednesday but is working toward collecting 650,000 signatures as some will likely be deemed invalid by the Los Angeles County officials. We are urging every registered voter in Los Angeles County to mail in their petition by no later than June 24 to ensure they arrive on time, or alternatively, drop them off at one of our permanent signing locations by June 30. The recall is the second attempt by supporters to oust Gascón, who came into office in December 2020 on a criminal justice reform platform.
