Only takes one to nullify a petition.

His ‘posse’ led by Joe Zullo is talking about actually FILING CHARGES in the birth certificate forgery case

They can file charges all they want, it won't go anywhere. The cancer has spread too far and too deep for any kind of TREASON to be justifiably prosecuted. We can hope for the best, but keep and remain prepared for the worse...

When you are over the target you get the most flak.

*sniff* *sniff* Hmmm. Smells like astroturf.

This: “A group trying to oust the polarizing sheriff ...” makes me ask is enforcing the law “polarizing”? Really?

So rather than acknowledge that recall supporters are having difficulty getting less than 10% of Maricopa County to sign a petitiom (there are 3.8MM residents according to the 2012 census) the Guardian decides to give the recall supporters free ink in their foreign newspaper.

Actually, it takes enough to bring the number of valid signatures below 335,000 or whatever the number required for the recall is set at.

“How prevalent are these recalls and are they part of a larger mechanism built into election law across the country?”

It’s state law. Texas doesn’t have recall.

Check the addresses, signatures and for cartoon figures.

Not very likely. They peaked several months ago, and still were well over a hundred thousand signatures short. It came to a close about a month ago when the out of state money pushing the idea dried up.

We need gruntled voters to inspect the signatures and count. That’ll take it past Thursday.

That was exactly what I thought. When the right has a petition effort going, the only mentions I find of it are usually in right-leaning media, which is never the large mainstream publications or internet sites.

I know a bunch of middle-aged and older very conservative long-term residents of Maricopa who wish they had never heard of this guy.

It's time for him to go either voluntarily or otherwise.

Every year they try this. Recalls like this are so incredibly unAmerican. but what am I talking about...an America that no longer exists.
