A high-profile attempt to recall Gascón failed last summer, after organizers were unable to collect sufficient, valid petition signatures to place the proposal before voters. In a region that has seen rising crime rates and brazen smash-and-grab robberies and home invasions, Gascón was faulted for criminal justice reforms that critics said fueled lawlessness, which the top prosecutor disputed.
