Palmer Mayor Carrington survived an attempt to remove him from office for alleged abuse of power. After trailing on election night 99-97, he surged ahead once the canvass board tallied another 202 mail, special needs, early and questioned ballots.

The Supervisor Joel Engardio recall has its signatures.

Of 14K signatures, Mission Local is told some 11K will be deposited on Thursday with the Dept. of Elections. The necessary total is 9,911. So, this would be more.

Will they be validated? Vamos a ver

WV's Underwood lost a third term race in 2000, but left him out, since his first solo term was in 56

The Third term blues -- may not just be tradition that prevented third term runs https://t.co/5YCpSlxqWh via @dcexaminer

Three caveats on the gubernatorial numbers:
Utah's Herbert won in a special and then won two terms. But his listed as not seeking a third term.
NM's King is left out, as the state had a one term limit. Won in 70, 78, 90 and then lost in 94.
