On October 9th a small group calling themselves Citizens Working 4 Fernley mounted a recall against Councilman Monte Martin.

There are a total of 1,780 registered voters in Ward 3.

Only 153 total ballots were cast.

Robert Chase, a rumored hand picked candidate, was seated as councilman for Ward 3 with only 97 votes to his credit.

It was also reported that a number of residents in Ward 3 were unaware of that recall election.

Charles Lawson, an opinion writer in a local paper wrote:

Unfortunately, the process doesn't allow for adequate noticing of all voters involved and has a relatively minuscule number of signers required on a petition for recall, so everything combined made for a rather rude education for Mr. Martin and a wake-up notice for those who irritate the rowdy element.
