(BCN) -- Efforts to recall Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price took another turn during the county Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday, as supporters and critics argued over a proposed amendment to bring a change to the way recall efforts are made to voters. Proponents of the recall claimed the amendment would curtail their democratic rights while opponents claim it would ensure signers of the recall petition effort are residents of the county. The amendment would add "California state law applicable to the recall of county officers shall govern the recall of County of Alameda elected officers," to the charter."If you don't live in Alameda County you shouldn't be allowed to have a say in the electoral process in Alameda County.
