For example, in Georgia the recalled officer may submit a petition applying for a review
of the sufficiency of the grounds for recall and the facts on which the grounds are
based. A judge then considers the legal sufficiency of the grounds and alleged facts,
and also reviews whether probable cause exists to believe that the alleged facts are
true. By contrast in Washington the superior court is obliged in all cases to conduct a
hearing and determine the sufficiency of the alleged reasons for recall, but is explicitly
prevented from considering the truth of the charges.
