More than 300 signatures in a petition to recall Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. George Gascón last year belonged to dead people, according to the county's Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk's office.
Now the agency has called on the California attorney general to investigate the possibility of fraud in the failed attempt to recall Gascón, whose reform-minded policies have become a target of Republican and conservative critics.
According to the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk's office, a review of the petition found 367 signatures of people who had died before the recall effort was launched.
The findings were similar to a review of another petition, statewide Initiative 1935, in which county officials found 344 signatures of dead petitioners. The initiative was meant to limit local and state government from expanding, enacting or modifying taxes and fees.
"My office has identified irregularities that suggest the possibility of fraudulent signature submission that I believe warrant investigation," Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Dean Logan said in a statement.

That should keep the DA busy. Not like he was doing anything else.
They’re using their own tactics against themselves? I can’t help but see fraud everywhere I look now. Fraud vitiates everything.
"Reform-minded" as in willful pro-criminal, civilization-destabilizing insanity.
Even the dead voters know that Gasbag has got to go.
What’s the problem? The dead people vote in all elections, are thy now denying them to voice their opinion regarding the D.A.? He may be the reason they are dead. That’s racist!!!!! BTW, they want their reparations also.
So l.a. times and yahoo are accusing republicans of what democrats have done for decades ? Oh the shame the l. a. times and yahoo must feel at their not caring democrats do it all the time
Funny how NOW we can do a signature match check. We certainly couldn’t do any for the 2020 presidential election.
We couldn’t do a signature match check for the 2022 races in Arizona.
But now that a Leftist gets recalled NOW we can magically do one.
But But But.....election fraud never happens right? Cleanest recall petition in history! Why? How would I prove that? Cuz I said so! So there!
Hey, if that argument works for the corporate media, I should be able to use it too.
Can’t be. We were assured voter fraud was a myth.
Someone or some people had to do this. Which means, there is a system, process, or know-how in place to do it. 300 isn’t a small number. I wish we could get more details.
When/if Kari Lake recalls Hobbs, her people need to carefully check who they allow to go out and get signatures. All of a sudden, you can bet that signature verification will matter if something like that happens with Hobbs, which it will.
“””More than 300 signatures in a petition to recall Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. George Gascón last year belonged to dead people, according to the county’s Registrar-Recorder”””
Nice to see Los Angeles quickly got on top of this and found the dead people signatures on the recall petition.
Now, they need to do the same thing with the 2020 and 2022 election since they have proven they are capable of doing such an investigation.
“Fraud vitiates everything.”
Not any more, apparently.
“When/if Kari Lake recalls Hobbs, her people need to carefully check who they allow to go out and get signatures.”
Really. There could be many foxes in the hen house specifically to sabotage the process.
Not reform but DEFORM minded.
Let’s see…
Dead people vote to elect democrats: SOP, nothing to see here.
Dead people vote to recall democrats: threat to our democracy.
Too funny.
LA Times finally finds voter fraud.
These people are total bottom feeders.
Yeah, what’s the problem? I think the dead should have their votes counted twice. Just think how difficult and inconvenient it is for them to get to the polls or fill out a mail-in ballot!
I’ve seen them at the post office buying stamps. But, the effort involved must be exhausting.
Did they vote too?
