Beyond California, a record year for recalls
| Voters across the country are moving to recall their elected officials at an unprecedented pace, driven in part by a backlash against restrictions imposed during the coronavirus pandemic and in part by anger at officials who have run afoul of culture war issues.
At least 164 efforts to recall more than 260 local, city and state elected officials were underway across the country during the first half of the year, according to a tally maintained by Ballotpedia, a nonpartisan election statistics and news website. |
