From Ballotpedia

"...the threat of recall can be a useful way to spotlight someone who is stinking up the place with the casual arrogance endemic to too many electeds. They feign selflessness and a mere desire for service on the campaign trail and turn high and mighty once in office."
Editorial, Pasadena Star-News, May 13, 2010

Legend:

Approveda = Recall target was recalled by voters.

Defeatedd = When a recall vote was held, voters rejected the attempt to recall the politician (that is, voters decided to keep/retain the targeted politician).

Proposed ballot measures that were not on a ballot = Recall effort did not collect enough signatures to force a recall vote.

Portal:Recall = Targeted politician resigned after a recall campaign was begun, and before the vote on the recall would have taken place.

= Petition drive to collect signatures to force a recall is underway.
