Idaho: Three Pocatello/Chubbuck School Board Trustees survive recall vote

All three Pocatello/Chubbuck School Board Trustees, Jackie Cranor (677-708)  Janie Gebhardt (674-959) and Dave Mattson (782-1055), survived the recall vote.   

The recall was over the board's decision to continue a hybrid learning model in order to ward off the coronavirus pandemic. The petitioners wanted full-in school model. There is also complaints about a boundary issue and a decision to retire a Native American mascot. 

Idaho has what I call a "Queen of the Hill" requirement, where the recall needs to top the vote of the last time the official was up for a removal (so no first past the post win).  Last time, Cranor got 279 votes, Mattson 278 votes and Gebhardt  is 417.
