- Still, poll showed 39% of voters undecided on the recall, so outcome would have been far from certain.
- This was second recall effort. Campaign needed 566,857 valid signatures by mid-July but got only 520,000 of the signatures submitted were valid.
- Effort failed just weeks after San Francisco resident ousted progressive District Attorney Chesa Boudin in a ballot initiative.
