Wisconsin: Orfordville Village President wins solo recall vote after previous president resigned

Orfordville Village Board President Dennis Burtness has won his "recall election" 75-2. Burtness faced the vote after signatures were handed in against previous President Gary Phillips. Phillips resigned in the face of a recall election (after signatures were handed in), so Burtness was on the ballot, though he was the only person running.

The issue seemed to be charges of overreaching into police department matters, which led to the resignation of the police chief. The replacement race will be held on June 28
