Idaho: Coeur d'Alene recall falls short

There was a 23% rejection rate, resulting in the petitions missing by 190-250 or so signatures. This is a little high by historic standards, but nothing unusual. It doesn't sound like the petitioners intend to appeal.



RecallCDA needed 4,311 valid signatures on each petition for the election to move forward. The official results were Mayor Sandi Bloem, 4,126 valid signatures; councilwoman Deanna Goodlander, 4,073; councilman Mike Kennedy, 4,077; and councilman Woody McEvers, 4,060.
