Mayor Ousted, Then Chosen to Replace Himself

Fall River, Massachusetts Mayor Jasiel Correia (D) “delivered a stunning victory Tuesday night as voters ousted him from office in a recall election and then ushered him back into power by picking him to be the city’s next chief executive,” the Boston Globe reports.

“Correia held onto his job under a quirk in the city charter which allowed him to run for reelection on the same ballot that sought to recall him.”
