I know that would be really hard but honestly, what redeeming qualities does Nick Mosby have? What would the argument be to keep him? I can’t wrap my mind around the idea that less than 20% of voters would agree that Mosby is bad for Baltimore and we don’t need two more years of bad. Maybe that’s just because I’m so fed up.

I honestly don't know. But also, how are you going to get that number of people to sign a petition? That's huge!

San Francisco recently managed to recall their DA and multiple school board members via petitions. It’s definitely possible but sadly it does feel like it would be pretty impossible in Baltimore.

There's a huge difference between SF and Baltimore.

What differences do you think are salient?

Baltimore has a strong no snitching, no speaking out culture. Petitions and surveys that require a name and address are concerning, at least in my area. I’d want to sign such a petition, I would be wary of potential consequences.

Only 10% of registered voter signatures needed to recall a city official is a pretty huge difference from 20%

Yea but they also did that to like four people. I’m only thinking we recall the one person. So maybe it’s feasible.
