Alameda County Initiates Manual Count of DA Recall Petition Signatures
The manual recount of over 123,000 signatures for DA Pamela Price's recall campaign could take up to a month, amid allegations of wrongful employee terminations.
- Alameda County's Registrar of Voters office is manually counting 123,374 signatures to determine if the recall election against DA Pamela Price will proceed.
- The initial sampling suggested inconclusive results, triggering the need for a hand count, which the Price campaign views as a victory.
- Recall campaign organizers remain optimistic, claiming internal validation shows between 80,000 and 90,000 valid signatures.
- Price faces accusations of illegally firing employees for supporting her political opponent, adding to the controversy surrounding her.
- The manual count's completion may be delayed by the implementation of Measure B, potentially opening the door to legal challenges.
