Organizers of a campaign to recall Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price said Friday that they welcome a manual count of signatures gathered to get the recall on the ballot after the county registrar of voters announced that a random sampling of the signatures did not meet its criteria.
Registrar of Voters Tim Dupuis announced Thursday that the results of a random sampling of the 123,374 signatures submitted in a petition on March 4 by the group Save Alameda For Everyone 'are not sufficient to determine whether the signature threshold to call for a recall election has been met.'The recall effort needs 73,195 signatures to qualify for the ballot.
The campaign opposing the recall of Price has alleged that there were deceptive and fraudulent efforts by organizers to get enough signatures to get the recall on the ballot and said Thursday they too welcomed the manual count.'After all that noise, they've failed their first test. We'll wait to crack up the Guinness until the votes are manually counted but things are looking good,' said Protect the Win spokesperson William Fitzgerald.
