LOS ANGELES—Organizers of a recent effort to oust District Attorney George Gascón lashed out March 23 at the county clerk’s office over allegations that signatures of dead people were found on recall petitions—calling the announcement an attempt to distract from what they call the county’s unwarranted rejection of the recall drive.
“This is nothing more than a last-ditch effort by [Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk] Dean Logan to cover up the improper disqualification of thousands of valid signatures, which we ultimately intend to expose and challenge in court once the review is complete,” said the Recall DA George Gascon Committee.
