- Voters in San Francisco have kicked out the city's progressive district attorney, Chesa Boudin, with 60.5 percent voting to recall him
- Boudin said the recall effort was driven by right-wing businesspeople and by less-than-liberal police officers
- Boudin, a former public defender, was elected as part of a wave of progressive prosecutors opposed to mass incarceration and in favor of restorative justice
- Boudin, 41, has been the target of a multi-million-dollar recall campaign by residents who say the liberal city has become an increasingly unsafe place to live
- The election has ramifications beyond San Francisco, with national polls showing Americans increasingly worried about violent crime
