More than 6,000 people have signed an electronic signature calling for her to step down. If they wanted to force her hand, that wouldn't be nearly enough.
demanding DeGise step down. That sounds like a lot of people, but that's not really nearly enough, is it?No, that's still a fraction of how many people would need to sign a recall petition in order to trigger a recall election. So in Jersey City — where the councilwoman is an at-large member for the entire city, where 170,000 people voted in the 2021 election, you would need about 42,000 signatures in order to trigger a recall election.
That number would be smaller if she only represented a ward. But that still represents 25% of all registered voters in Jersey City.That high threshold is much higher than in most states, you found. And it's not surprising to those of us who know Jersey that it's harder than just about anywhere else in the country to get rid of an elected official, right?So most states actually only have a threshold of 25% of votes cast in the most recent election.
. And you need signatures from five counties, which is why they have recalls in that state way more often than in any other.And of course it's no accident that New Jersey is so difficult. You talk about the history of thisRight. So voters approved this through a ballot question in the mid-1990s, and then it was approved by lawmakers in 1995. So even though we have a high threshold, that doesn't mean that people haven't tried, and succeeded at recall efforts.
