Ohio: Buckeye Lake Mayor sues to stop February 27 recall

Buckeye Lake Mayor Jeryne Peterson is trying to have her upcoming February 27 Recall (special election) thrown out by the Ohio Supreme Court. Peterson's claim is based on the fact that the original submission did not have enough signatures and petitioners refiled (as allowed by the charter) in a cure petition 10 days later. Peterson is claiming that the deadline wasn't met. 

The recall seems to be about a host of complaints, "resignations from Village employees, unanimous censure and no-confidence votes from village council, a fight with the village solicitor and a lawsuit alleging discrimination filed by a local hotel against the village mayor and police officials." 

Peterson won office with 30% of the vote in 2021. Petitioners handed in 265 valid signatures and needed 252. They originally got 246 valids. Peterson has said that the entire council signed the petitions.
