Nebraska: Waverly School Board President easily survives recall vote

Continuing the trend of officials surviving recalls over their support for measures to combat the spread of the pandemic, Waverly School Board President Andy Grosshans overwhelmingly survived his January 11 (mail-in ballot) recall vote, 116-548. Petitioners got the 88 signatures they needed (notably, Grosshans ran as a write-in candidate, which may have depressed his turnout) Grosshans has actually been on the board since 2008. The recall was over his support for measures to stop the coronavirus pandemic.
