San Francisco votes overwhelmingly to re

$30/hr Starting at $30

an Francisco residents voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to recall District Attorney Chesa Boudin, one of the nation's most progressive top prosecutors.

Partial results from the San Francisco Department of Elections on Tuesday night showed the recall measure - also known as Proposition H - had the support of nearly 60% of voters, with 40% voting against it. 

Boudin sought to reform the criminal justice system, ending the use of cash bail, stopping the prosecution of minors as adults, and focused on lowering jail populations amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Boudin also became the first San Francisco DA to file homicide charges against city police officers. 

At an election night gathering, Boudin told his supporters he is just getting started in the push for criminal justice reform.

"We have two cities. We have two systems of justice. We have one for the wealthy and the well-connected and a different one for everybody else. And that's exactly what we are fighting to change," he said.

"We know that this is a system that has systematically failed us, not just for decades, but for generations."

San Francisco Mayor Landon Breed will choose Boudin's replacement.
