Interview With Seneca Scott: Recall Of Oakland Mayor Thao Qualifies For November Ballot With 40,595 Signatures Verified Seneca Scott sent out this press release earlier this evening. He will be on Zennie62 YouTube Wednesday morning at 8 AM PST and 11 AM EST to talk about the amazing milestone. Thank you, Oakland. We are proud to announce that the petition to recall Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao has successfully surpassed the required number of signatures and will be placed on the ballot for the November general election. Oakland United to Recall Sheng Thao (OUST) received this notice from the City of Oakland today: “Pursuant to the provisions of Elections Code Section 9210(b), recall petitions were examined from June 5, 2024, to June 11, 2024, and were found to contain 40,595 signatures and 5,611 sections prima facie*. In accordance with Elections Code Section 9210(b), it has been determined that the number of signatures prima facie equals or exceeds the minimum number required. Therefore, the petition is considered filed and has been forwarded to the County of Alameda Registrar of Voters as of June 5, 2024.” “This historic achievement marks the first recall in Oakland's history, with over 40,000 Oakland voters signing with a sense of urgency and purpose to recall this dishonest and incompetent mayor. Thao’s actions have pushed Oakland to the brink, but the community is saying, 'NO MORE. We want Thao gone,'” states OUST President, Retired Alameda County Superior Court Judge Brenda Harbin-Forte. The City Council is expected to discuss this matter at its meeting on July 2, 2024. OUST will hold a press conference tomorrow at 11 a.m. at Frank Ogawa Plaza to address the next steps.
