Recall vote for Frank White Jr. may have to wait for November election. Here's why
A hearing for two court actions over the election date is scheduled for Aug. 1, while the Jackson County Legislature has an ordinance setting a new election day to consider.
The Aug. 26 recall election for Jackson County Executive Frank White, Jr. will likely be pushed back. The county legislature set the election for next month, but court action will probably delay that.
One case filed by a group of citizens asked a Jackson County judge to enforce the Aug. 26 date. The Jackson County and Kansas City election boards filed a lawsuit that asked a separate judge to order the recall to appear on the Nov. 4 regular fall ballot.
The boards argued a special election could cost $2 million, and dates to mail military ballots and start absentee voting have already passed.
