Oklahoma: Enid Commissioner recall set for February 9

The recall effort against Enid Commissioner Ben Ezzell has now been set for February 9, 2021.

The recall date will be on the same day as the new elections for commissioner. Ezzell is termed out, so the race will be focused on the last three months of his term. 

The issue was Ezzell's support for the city to enforce the state's COVID-19 alert system and his criticism of the police chief for a failure to enforce a mask mandate proposal designed to combat the pandemic.

Update: A judge has rejected an attempt to throw out the recall.
