Failed Recall Attempt of New Orleans Mayor Sparks Legal Action and Proposed Legislation.
Sandra Wilson, the Orleans Registrar of Voters, spoke exclusively with WDSU about the signature counting process in the recall petition against New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell. Wilson stated that the process was not fun and required thousands of copies of signatures, as well as those same signatures being counted twice for accuracy. The recall effort failed after only 27,000 signatures were certified, and Wilson is expected to hold a news conference on Thursday to provide a more detailed update on the process.
