Judge Denies Basis for Recall Lawsuit
News brief

A Superior Court Judge on July 11 decided the Orange County Registrar of Voters properly disqualified recall signatures where volunteers later filled in signators’ addresses. The decision diminishes hopes of putting the recall of seven Capistrano Unified School District trustees on the ballot. Recall supporters, who say Registrar employees advised that filling in addresses was acceptable, have the option of filing an appeal. With the Nov. 7 General Election in less than four months, timing has become an issue.
