Alameda County DA Pamela Price Faces Recall Vote in November
The decision to align the recall with the general election is seen as a cost-saving measure and a potential advantage for Price.
- The recall election for Alameda County DA Pamela Price is set for November 5, coinciding with the general election.
- Price's critics accuse her of being soft on crime, linking her policies to a rise in Oakland's crime rates.
- Supporters argue the recall is driven by wealthy conservatives opposed to Price's criminal justice reforms.
- A special election would have cost up to $20 million, while the November date is expected to save taxpayers $16 million.
- The recall effort narrowly qualified for the ballot, with 48,600 of the 123,000 collected signatures disqualified.
