Larry Elder suing California secretary of state over recall ballot access
Fox News
Conservative radio host Larry Elder announced Tuesday that he is suing California Secretary of State Shirley Weber, demanding that her office put him on the ballot for the recall election against sitting Gov. Gavin Newsom.
"[P]ursuant to Election Code section 8903 the Secretary of State bas a duty to remedy any redacting errors and provide a clean copy to the voters," said Elder’s complaint, which was filed Monday in California Superior Court. "As such, the Secretary of State is illegally precluding a qualified candidate from the ballot in violation of the law." The lawsuit claims that Elder provided more than 300 pages of tax return documents, which means that he "substantially complied" complied with the law inasmuch as he should not be disqualified. He further argues that the law requiring candidates to provide tax returns specifies that it applies to "direct primary elections," so it is "debatable as to whether or not this code section applies to recall elections at all."
