District Attorney George Gascon's recall is being undermined by Los Angeles County officials who are not following the law, giving the prosecutor the edge, a campaign to unseat him explosively claims. The Registrar-Recorder’s Office is using illegal standards to verify and count recall petition signatures, increasing the odds that the vote will be thrown out, the campaign claims. Volunteers delivered 717,000 signatures to the registrar, which is 150,000 more than required. A random sampling showed 22% were invalid, but the campaign doesn’t buy it.
