That column says that this is the "first recall vote against a governor in the United States since the 1920s."
Didn't Arizona recall Evan Mecham in the 1980's?
I think Mecham was impeached before the recall vote could be held.
Yes of course, you're right. He was impeached. Thanks!
I live in AZ, and I still had to go look it up. Granted, I was a lot less politcally interested at that time, but I knew he got 'recalled' one way or the other.
Oh, my.
The Party of Stupid and the Party of Evil. It really fits . . .
