SAN FRANCISCO — Elections officials announced Tuesday that a recall election against San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin will appear on the ballot in June, giving residents of the politically liberal city a chance to keep or oust a polarizing figure and former public defender who has been a prosecutor for less than two years.
Critics say Boudin, 41, has failed to prosecute repeat offenders, allowing them to commit more crimes that have contributed to the deterioration of the city's quality of life. His supporters say his progressive policies of ending mass incarceration and promoting restorative justice are what San Francisco wants and that he's being blamed unfairly for problems that have vexed the city for years.

California governor Newsom not only survived his recall, he did so by an amazing 24 point margin. Are San Franciscans more fed up than Californians in general?
Nah...depends on “who counts the vote”
Not until June 2022, huh? Lots of time to criminally “stock up” (on items under $950, of course) between now and then (i.e., San Francisco’s distorted version of a “prepper”).
Soros DA???
Ain’t gonna happen, she’s exactly what they want.
Direct decadent evil spawn of those 1960s vermin !
Very much doubt that Boudin will be recalled. San Francisco is thourghly decadent and depraved. A lunatic like Boudin was not elected in a cultural or political vacuum. He truly represents those bizarre people. No decent ,rational person would voluntarily live, locate a business or raise any sort of family in Democratic dominated and ruled urban areas such as San Francisco.
It’ll never happen.
If big tech wants this Marxist stooge DA gone he will be gone.
They need a serious GOP candidate on the ballot to replace him, not another Larry Elder. Some prominent and respect conservative local attorney, if one even exists there.
Walking in and out of a store every day taking $950 in merchandise and just smiling that it was so easy. Chesa and his type need to go.
Soros has to much invested in him, he will not let this experiment fail!
With all mail in ballots, CA elections have lost all meaning.
Like Bill Ayers himself - another entitled, spoiled, upper-class red-diaper baby.
The only positive thing about Marxist revolutions as that these types get executed first.
Unlike most (all?) of the other commenters in this thread, I am an S.F. voter. I’d put the recall chances at 50-50. Almost everyone I know and am friends with in S.F. will vote to recall Boudin, but I don’t want to be a reverse Pauline Kael (”How did Nixon win? No one I know voted for him”). I am realistic to know that, yes, there are people in this town who enthusiastically support Boudin and his brand of “restorative justice” (i.e., let the criminals go free). I can almost certainly draw a map of the city, and tell you the neighborhoods that Boudin will win or lose.
1. Boudin will win among white limousine liberals. They’re like the haute bourgeoisie in 1905 Russia; they hate the police and fund the revolution.
2. Boudin will lose among white middle-class families who are sick of the crime.
3. Boudin will lose among the Chinese population who are sick of the crime.
4. The LGBT? It’s 50-50. The gays and lesbians who own homes and have jobs are likely sick of the crap and will vote to oust him. The trannies and younger, more transient queers are on board with Boudin’s nihilism and will support him.
5. Black population? They’re tiny at this point (5% of voters?), gentrified out of town. Probably 50-50.
All in all, it will be a low turnout election even with mail-in ballots. Without a president on the ballot, S.F. elections usually are.
I read somewhere that there is an App for this
Someone does the walk out and delivers the goods
Theft by remote control.....who would have thunk it,.
He.
An election? In California? The repeated madness of hope of a legitimate election.
