Oregon: Super-close King City recall race, with Mayor and three other councilors currently losing

The recall of four King City officials may be going to overtime, as they all are currently losing, but by incredibly close margins. Mayor Jaimie Fender (850-829) and Councilors Kate Mohr (848-839), Smart Ocholi (835-834), Laurie Petrie (851-820), has made the February 13 ballot. 

Petitions were also filed against two other councilors, one of whom, Micha Paulsen, resigned. No signatures were handed in against Marc Manelis after a seeming change of heart.  

The recall is over their vote for a Master Plan and Transportation System Plan, most notably a development plan for Kingston Terrace. One councilor who voted against the Transportation Plan is not facing a recall effort. 

Update: This is going to a recount, with new numbers still showing all losing (Petrie, 901-859; Fender 895-871; Ocholi, 882-864; and Mohr, 892-851).
