Oak Bay Gordon Head Recall with four weeks left

According to an article in the News Group the recall efforts are stalling out.   With 25 days to go the campaign is still at least 8000 signatures out from where they need to be.   Latest news from the campaign had them still under 7000 signatures.

This means the number of signatures needed from this point onwards is 320 a day but they have managed only about 200 per day to date.   This masks the fact that in the first two weeks they managed about 60% of their signatures to date in the first 14 days and only 40% in the next 21 days.

Based on the results to date, 10,000 signatures looks like it will be the maximum amount they will achieve, a long way from the close to 16,000 they need.

If the recall organizers keep their organization together, they will find that they need much much fewer votes to just defeat Ida Chong in the next election, and they will have the riding experience to make a difference. Ms. Chong won by 500 votes or so the last time out.
