LOS ANGELES—Supporters of the attempt to recall Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón filed court papers Oct. 18 against the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk, hoping to review the thousands of signatures that were declared invalid in August and put a stop to their effort to oust the county’s top prosecutor.

Gascón was sworn into office in December 2020 and has been dogged by claims he is soft on crime with various directives, including not seeking the death penalty and a reluctance to try juveniles as adults.
