The attempt to gather enough signatures to force a recall of Nate Easley onto the ballot for a special election has failed.

The signatures needed: 5,363.

Signatures submitted: 5,899 (Not the “over 6,300” being claimed by DeFENSE.)

Signatures validated: 3283

For you number crunchers out there, that’s a 55% validity rate.

And for the kids of DPS, that’s a savings of $100 grand for your district that won’t be wasted on a recall that was never based on anything more than a grudge and a power grab.

Ed News has a copy up of the Clerk and Recorder’s letter to Mr. McBride. 2,603 signatures were invalid; 13 were excluded.
