The George Gascon recall drive may have been thwarted by bloated Los Angeles voter rolls that most likely inaccurately raised the recall signature threshold needed to recall George Gascon.
The
recent removal of over 1 million, 2 hundred thousand voters from the LA voter Rolls may, or may not, have inflated the number of petition
signatures required for the George Gascon recall vote. And, even if the
argument is made that that was then, this is now, we would then have to
ask how long was the voter roll reduction stalled before it came to be.
Voter
Roll Removal could become a quid pro quo in which LA Officials were
stalling before the voters were removed from the voter rolls, thus
inflating the number of signatures needed to recall George Gascon.
Stay tuned as Daily Puma attempts a calculation to see how many less signatures the George Gascon recall actually needed.
On
first glance this would mean the recent removal of 1.2 million voters
from the rolls has no standing in regards to the Gascon recall. However,
lets backwards engineer the numbers. From a claimed 5.67 million LA
voters, the new numbers reflect a drop of 1.2 million voters, meaning
there are now 4.47 million voters. This would mean only 447,000 votes
would now be needed to recall George Gascon.
Is
it fair to just suddenly jettison 1.2 million voters and claim it had
no effect on recent recall attempts? DailyPUMA believes the 1.2 million
votes that were removed would have to be charted on a graph as if the
voter rolls were actually being cleaned up every year. Just because 1.2
million voters were removed from the voter rolls does not mean they all
"rolled off" this year. A calculation would have to be made going back
at least 10 years and the 1.2 million removed voters could be calculated
at 120,000 per year.
2012
to 2020 equals 8 years x 120,000 per year voter attrition. That would
mean 960,000 thousand more voters were on the roll in 2020 than actually
existed. Instead of 5.67 million voters, the argument can be made that
when Gascon was elected, there were only approximately 4.71 million
voters. This in turn means the Gascon recall only needed 471,000 votes
to qualify, NOT the mandated 567,000.
This
also raises the issue that by not updating voter rolls, local
Governments are engaging in a power grab in which voters ability to
recall an official diminishes the more bloated the voter rolls actually
are. This also means vote percentage totals have been significantly
inaccurate, which in turn can demoralize voters into thinking their city
is apathetic because of inaccurately lower voting percentage totals.
If
I were involved in the Gascon Recall effort, I would be in court
demanding the petition total required to recall Gason was based on voter
rolls that were not in compliance with FEDERAL LAWS, and that a new
calculation needs to be retroactively applied that would instantly make
the Gascon recall valid.
