Missouri: Three Robertson Fire District Board members lose both recall vote and replacement race

All three members of the Robertson Fire Protection District Board, Joan Noel (765-652), Becky Reinsmith (781-628), Mike Conley (772-645) are facing a recall vote on Election Day, lost their recall vote, and lost their replacement race as well. 

The board members are running in the replacement, which we've seen in Massachusetts, but was apparently quite the shock to at least one reporter in Missouri. Interestingly enough (and as we've seen before), the vote in the replacement race dropped for the official facing the recall, but not the challenger. It broke down list this:

Noel (427)  lost to Jennifer Guyton (791), Conley (469) lost to Steve Field (757)  and Reinsmith (455) lost to Maggie Sieve (754). 

The board is blamed for putting Hazelwood near bankruptcy due to a "costly contract." Supporters of the board members claim that Hazelwood is trying to get out of the contract with the recalls. The issues listed include failure to lower costs, retaliation, failing to turn over public records and selling property for below market value.
