California: Recall against Cerritos College Trustee President and South Gate City Clerk thrown out

A recall against Cerritos College Trustee President and South Gate City Clerk Carmen Avalos was thrown out after four of 10 signatures on the petition were called into question. The recall was over Avalos' abstention from a vote to elect another trustee President of the Board.

A long time political operative Sylvia Ortiz is alleged to have brought the petitions. Ortiz was previous blamed for failed recall petitioners in Commerce.
