McPherson School Board recall election will take place, thanks to lawsuit

Residents of USD-418 will soon have a chance to decide if they want to retain Board Members Jeff Johnson, Emily Greer, and Ann Elliott after McPherson County Clerk Hollie Melroy certified the success of a recall effort. She certified its failure fewer than two months ago. The recall election is set for May 24, with advanced voting available from May 4 through 23. What changed? The reversal of decisions came after 12 members of the recall committee filed a lawsuit against Melroy on Feb. 18, claiming she hadn’t correctly counted, specifically contesting Melroy’s disqualifications due to address changes, the use of nicknames, and clerical issues, according to Clinton Sides of the recall effort.
