Would not the turnout of their own supporters be affected as well?

The majority has spoken, and now the majority will decide if the chosen 19 will continue to serve at our pleasure.

If C44 manages to save themselves at the recall meeting, and I think that is an open question, should they decide to run for another term I predict they won't be elected by the entire membership. I know they can do a lot of damage in between. But, these four individuals are toast. Nothing personal. Just a reading of the tea leaves.
