Eunice men file recall on Gov. Edwards

EUNICE — Two Eunice men filed a recall petition on Gov. John Bel Edwards.
The peititon, according to a communication from Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin’s office stated the reasons for the petition are: “Impeding the constitutional freedoms and livelihoods of all Louisiana citizens without concrete scientific data; Unconstitutionally mandating that masks be worn in all public places.”
Filing the petition were Lee Joseph Vidrine, 151 Patasa Lane, Eunice, chairman; and Michael Lyn Vidrine, 773 Soileau Road, Eunice, vice chairman.
A voice message was left with a phone number listed in the phone book for Michael Vidrine, but no reply was received.
Edwards is in his second term as governor.
To force a recall election, the petition would need 20% of the registered voters or about 600,000 signatures.
The Vidrines have 180 days from Monday to gather the signatures.
