On one side it said “FOR,” with an empty box below it in which the voter had to CORRECTLY hand-write the Mayor’s name. On the other side, above another box it said “AGAINST.” But the “FOR” didn’t mean “for the Mayor,” as the arrangement implied; it meant “for recall,” which it didn’t say; and AGAINST didn’t mean against the mayor; it meant “against recall.” Despite that confusion, and despite disqualification of any ballot with the Mayor’s name written incorrectly, the vote was 6979 for recall and 5180 against. The Mayor has been recalled.
