More Than 100 Officials Faced Recall Elections in 2022

Joshua Spivak: “More than 100 public officials across the United States faced the impact of recall elections year, a return to normalcy after two consecutive years in which the coronavirus pandemic inspired a huge number of recall efforts across the nation, but a drop in actual results.”

“Voters in 21 states used the recall against 108 public officials this year… Eighty-six of those officials faced recall elections, and voters gave 50 their walking papers. Just 36 survived.”

“Another 18 didn’t even wait for recalls to force them back onto the ballot. Those officials resigned before they had to face voters again.”
