The recall of Chesa Boudin may have driven a more conservative, less transit-friendly electorate to the polls. Only 48.7% of people who voted to recall Boudin voted yes on Prop. A, compared to 76.7% of people who voted against the recall of Boudin.
Supporters of District Attorney Chesa Boudin aren’t the only ones facing a reckoning after last week’s election.
“We're going to have to choose the improvements that have the greatest impact because resources are more scarce,” Gwyneth Borden, chair of the SFMTA Board of Directors, said in an interview with The Examiner. “So you just have to make hard choices.” But that won’t happen until 2023 at the earliest, since San Francisco’s half-cent transportation sales tax is up for reauthorization this November, and city officials don’t want to confuse voters with two transit funding measures.
The recall may have driven a more conservative, less transit-friendly electorate to the polls. Only 48.7% of people who voted to recall Boudin voted yes on Prop A, compared to 76.7% of people who voted against the recall of Boudin, according to an analysis from Mission Local. Progressive Supervisor Dean Preston pinned Prop A’s defeat on SFMTA’s slow pandemic recovery. “The failure of MTA to restore MUNI lines and service is what sank Prop. A. Full stop,” he wrote on Twitter.
