Oregon: Cottage Grove Councilors trailing in recall vote

The early returns are showing that Cottage Grove City Councilors Mike Fleck, Chalice Savage and Alex Dreher are losing their recall votes, with 60% in favor of their ouster. 

The recall appears to be about the homeless policy. There was a failed recall attempt against Fleck, Savage and John Stinett in 2023, where petitioners handed in 662 signatures and needed 654. Only 463 signatures were validated. That recall was over the city's homeless policy and a lack of responsiveness.
