New Orleans mayor recall organizers score deal that could lower signature requirement
Fox News
The group hoping to recall New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell scored a big win as election officials agreed to move 25,000 voters to the inactive list.
Hannah Ray Lambert is an associate producer/writer with Fox News Digital Originals.
The recall campaign had filed suit against the Louisiana Secretary of State and Orleans Parish Registrar, alleging they failed to keep an accurate list of active voters. Recall organizers said they found many voters listed as active who had died or moved away.
Both sides appeared in court Monday and the hearing was scheduled to continue Tuesday, but never got underway as the parties instead worked on reaching a settlement.
