An Appellate Court has accepted an appeal filed by Denton City Council member Alison Maguire to her Recall scheduled for Election Day. A  Judge has previously tossed out a lawsuit looking to throw out the petitions (there will be no replacement race).

The Recall Effort began when Maguire used a meme (Who killed Hannibal?) to complain about the leadership of the County Transportation Authority, though the critical part seems to be that the recall is taking place in a part of the district that wasn't there when Maguire was elected (redistricting turned it into a more conservative district. Petitioners needed 673 signatures to get on the ballot and handed in 745.

Former Councilmember Dan Duff lead the recall effort.
