If Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards is going to be recalled, a significant amount of signatures would need to be collected in the next month.
The effort to recall Edwards began on August 31, 2020 when two Eunice men filed a petition to have the two-term Democrat governor removed from office. They had 180 days from that date to collect enough signatures.
In order for Edwards to be removed from office, 20% of the state's registered voters must sign the petition. That would equate to about 600,000 registered voters.
As of now, the petition has collected over 130,000 signatures from seven parishes.
One of the recall supporters, Chris Fontenot, told KLFY why people are signing the petition.
