After a second effort to recall Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón failed in August, the campaign behind it is filing an injunction against the county registrar, claiming its signature verification process was “seriously flawed, resulting in substantial errors, [and] the wrongful invalidation of many valid signatures,” according to a statement released Oct. 10.

The recallers said their volunteer attorneys have been reviewing the invalidated signatures since Sept. 6 and found 39 percent warrant “clear, obvious, and legitimate challenges.”
