What would happen if the person who initiates the recall falls ill immediately thereafter, and is not fit to organize a campaign to gather signatures? Does the public have a right to see their medical records to confirm that it is a bona fide illness? Of course not.
There is nothing that requires a good faith effort to gather signatures under the current legislation, as it is written.

An investigation would reveal this fact and inform the Chief Electoral Officer. The sensible resolution would be the CEO asking if the applicant if they wanted to rescind their application for personal reasons. But I don't think the CEO is allowed to use the bathroom anymore without permission from the Injustice minister, so who knows what will happen now.
It's silly to speculate on the probability of charges without any facts here. The much bigger problem is that a prosecutor may be unlikely to lay charges because we've seen this vindictive government repeatedly interfere in these sorts of things in obviously inappropriate ways. We're living in a banana republic now...its weird and pathetic that anybody wants to defend this ####.
