More confrontations between the groups will come over the summer ahead but the legal battle over launching the recall wrapped up this week as the court finalized ballot language voters could consider in the effort to remove Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant from office.
King County Superior Court Judge Jim Rogers has certified the ballot synopsis after final legal wrangling this week over phrasing, grammar, and how many times the word “allegedly” appears in the short passage’s final form posted by Seattle City Council Insight:

CHS reported here the state Supreme Court decision allowing the recall to continue, the large war chests built by both sides in the political battle, and what comes next in the process. Recall proponents have 180 days to gather a little over 10,000 signatures - or 25% of the nearly 43,000 votes cast in her November 2019 race — in District 3 across Capitol Hill, the Central District, and nearby neighborhoods to put the issue on the ballot.
Only signatures from District 3 residents count in the tally and only D3 voters will participate in the yes/no recall vote. If the majority of D3 voters choose yes on the recall, the council would select a temporary replacement until the next general election in the city. The winner in that vote would finish Sawant’s current term through the end of 2023.
When a recall vote might ultimately take place is not clear. Henry Bridger, campaign manager and chair of the Recall Sawant campaign, said earlier this month the recall vote cannot appear on the August primary ballot and officials have told the campaign a special election can’t be held between the primary and the November General Election. The recall campaign backers also don’t want to appear on the General Election ballot, Bridger said.

Deport the trash back to India.
Sawant is a certified wackjob.
Seattle: If you vote for an idiot, that makes you an idiot. You are an embarrassment not only to the State of Washington, but to the known universe.
Signature gatherers better be prepared to defend themselves from the violent marxists that support sawant.
