Joshua Spivak Joshua Spivak: “This year saw the most recalls attempted since this blog started in 2011 — at least 609 attempts. But unlike most years, when the recall gets to the ballot about one-quarter to one-third of the time, this year, most of the recalls went nowhere. Only 66 went to the ballot and 17 others resigned.”

“Even more unusual, for the first time more officials survived the vote than lost. Most recalls result in removal — about 60% of the time (plus 6% resignations). This year, 40 officials survived the vote and only 26 were removed.”
