Sources confirm that Dean Logan's Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder office examined and verified the roughly 715,833 signatures submitted to recall DA George Gascón, and later flagged fraud-like irregularities such as dead signers.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said
… This is a guy who wants to make sure that the outcome is in the Democrats' favor. Well, and as one of our listeners in the chat points out, remember when it was Dean Logan's office that was tasked with counting the petitions to recall George Gascon, and the whole mess that that was? I mean, there was also the crooked consultants. The Secretary of State claims the Trump administration did not provide any evidence to support its claims of non-citizen voters. What about the thumb drive, which none of nobody opened? How would they know? They won't even look at it. …
The John Phillips Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder Dean C. Logan announced completion of the verification of all 715,833 petition signatures submitted for the recall of DA George Gascón, finding 520,050 valid and failing the petition.[2][4][5]
Supports. Logan's office later reported irregularities suggesting possible fraudulent signature submission, including 367 signatures from people who had died before the petition period, and asked the state Attorney General to investigate.[3][6][7]
Context. Recall supporters disputed the rejections, and the county's rejection of about 30% of signatures was explained by non-registered voters, duplicates and out-of-county signers.[1][5]
Context. None of the provided sources mention consultants or characterize any consultants as crooked, so that part of the claim is neither confirmed nor refuted.
