By CBSLA Staff, CBS Los Angeles: LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) – Attorneys filed papers Wednesday in Los Angeles in opposition to a lawsuit seeking to have the gubernatorial recall election called off or the ballot drastically changed before the Sept. 14 deadline to submit ballots. Lawyers for California voters Carla Endow, Lisa Long and Marllus Gandrud filed the motion in federal court to intervene in litigation brought by two other voters against Secretary of State Shirley Weber, who is conducting the recall election. The Aug. 14 lawsuit filed on behalf of plaintiffs Rex Julian Beaber and A.W. Clark seeks a preliminary injunction to halt the recall election or — falling short of that — to add Gov. Gavin Newsom to the ballot as a candidate. Read more at CBSLA CBS Local Digital Media personalizes the global reach of CBS-owned and operated television and radio stations with a local perspective.
