Oregon: Turner City Councilmember appears to lose January 3rd recall vote

Votes from January 3rd seem to be overwhelmingly in favor of removing Turner City Councilmember Mark McCracken. We're still waiting for final results, though the numbers seem to be 2-1 against McCracken. There will be a replacement race on May 16.

The recall was over complaints about bullying behavior and his support for the expansion of an urban growth boundary and opposition to a school bond. The big issue seems to be negative comments he apparently made on a Facebook group about a neighborhood child with brain cancer. Petitioners got 157 signatures.
