[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What embattled Tholen and Cohen fail to recognize is that the recall petitions, even if impeded by local Democratic prosecutors (or, more accurately, non-prosecutors), are a giant vote of “no confidence” in their continued service on the School Board. Both should take a cue from Beth Barts in Loudoun and resign. [/quote]what % of the actual voting public in their district signed the petition? How many of them would never vote for Tholen or Cohen anyway?[/quote]

The petition bar is far lower than the number of people who regularly vote against them. It should be easy to for conservatives to get 10% of voters to sign a petition. The fact that they have trouble meeting that low bar shows you how little trouble the board is actually in. [/quote]

You don't know how to read the room.  If you sign a petition, you have to publicly disclose your name and affirm under penalty of perjury you believe the grounds for recall are accurate and well-founded.  That requires a heightened level of commitment.

There are plenty who don't want their names on a public petition, but when voting privately in a future election will never vote for one of these clowns again.  Seen in that context, the fact that sufficient signatures were collected to trigger recalls for Tholen and Cohen don't bode well or them, either while they remain on the board or if they try to run again.
