We fell short of our goal of 1,946 signatures collected for the Recall of Sheriff Daryl Anderson. On behalf the Lincoln County Recall Committee I would like to thank each and every person that signed the petition and every person that helped in the collection of signatures.
It has been a journey, one that has allowed us to learn about our constitutional rights and the laws that govern the recall process. We would also like to thank the many government officials that helped us along the way and a special thanks to our legal council for his help and support.
Many unresolved questions still remain about the issues involved. It is with our hopes and prayers that one day these issues are brought to light and justice is served upon those deserving.
Other questions still to be answered are the concerns and fears of the many people that we spoke to about signing the petition and business owners fearful of hosting the petition in their place of business. To be concerned about the possibility of retaliation or retribution from the very person they have voted into office to protect their safety and property is something that needs to be questioned and answered.
Along the way we have met many people and made many friends. We can only hope that our efforts have encouraged people to think about their vote, who they choose for an office and the candidate’s credentials, training and education. It is important for each and every one of us to use our constitutional right to vote with knowledge and integrity.
Ginny Emerson, Chairperson
