CUSD Recall Update

The Full Count, as reported by the San Juan Capistrano Dispatch

The Orange County Registrar of Voters has until Dec. 23 to check the signatures submitted by a group hoping to recall the Capistrano Unified Board of Trustees -- and the office will likely need every minute of it, Acting Registrar Neal Kelley told The Dispatch on Monday. The office did a random sample and must now go over each signature. That means the random sample showed more than 90 percent but less than 110 percent of the signatures necessary were valid. About 140,000 valid signatures -- 20,000 per trustee -- are needed to put the issue before voters; recall proponents submitted more than 175,000.
