There are just three weeks left to gather the more than 53,000 signatures needed to force a recall of New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell. As of last week, organizers said they were about 15,000 names short.
Recall co-chair Eileen Carter says it will come down to the wire. Their volunteers, she says, will be out in full force for the final push.
"We are all over the city, a ridiculous amount of locations, all day long," Carter told WWL's Newell Normand. "We're going to do this through the end."
Carter expects an onslaught of mail-in petitions to arrive, after the recall campaign sent out another mass mailing last week.
"I'm kind of like, pleasantly scared," she said, "to see if we have enough people at the office to make sure we can open them all and be expeditious about this."
Carter said recall volunteers will be out at all of the upcoming parades gathering signatures of registered New Orleans voters, too.
The deadline to return the signatures to the Louisiana Secretary of State's office is February 22.
