Ding dong, the recall's dead: GOP effort to undo Democratic election wins in Nevada has failed

[Gothmog]

The GOP has been trying to undo the results of the election by staging bogus recalls of Democratic Nevada state senators. Recall petitions were designed to be misleading. The DNC and Marc Elias (Hillary Clinton's election law attorney) got involved and it appears that these efforts have been defeated https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/4/9/1755644/-Ding-dong-the-recall-s-dead-GOP-effort-to-undo-Democratic-election-wins-in-Nevada-has-failed

The saga surrounding the Nevada GOP’s efforts to undo their 2016 election losses by recalling Democratic state senators has taken another—potentially final—turn. The Silver State GOP’s attempts to recall Democratic Sens. Joyce Woodhouse and Nicole Cannizzaro are effectively dead.

News broke on Monday that the petitions circulated by Republicans to recall these Democratic lawmakers had insufficient valid signatures to trigger special elections to unseat and replace them. Notwithstanding a potential appeal of a related court ruling, the GOP’s long-running campaign to recall these women senators is over.

This news comes as little surprise after a court decision last month upheld the constitutionality of a state law allowing voters who signed recall petitions to change their minds and remove their names after the petitions are submitted to the state. Democrats had been running aggressive campaigns to urge petition signers, many of whom claim they were misinformed of the real purpose of the petitions, to ask to have their names removed.

Since the petition to recall Cannizzaro exceeded the required number of signatures by a margin of just 43, the ruling rendered that recall effort effectively dead. Similarly, the petition to recall Woodhouse exceeded the number of signatures required by about 200, so the signature removal requests—reportedly in the thousands—seemed certain to doom that effort, too. The news of Republicans’ failure to recall these Democrats is a satisfying ending to the state GOP’s desperate effort to undermine election results that might have rendered them the minority part in the state Senate until at least 2020.

1. They're trying to do that here in California too.

We have a democratic super majority in Sacramento and the hardcore frothing at the mouth Fox News fans are staging recall efforts and falling. Sorry guys but a vote is a vote!

2. You knew this was going to fail.

Here is a example of Signature Gather's work. Last year when I went to the DMV for renewal ,these slugs had a Sign-up both set up to gather Signatures. These Guys were in the wrong zip code to collect these Signatures. BTW,they were also gathering anti-abortion Signatures on another set of Clip boards.
