Oregon GOP is trying to recall the Democratic governor for doing her job

Because they can't beat her at the ballot box, the Oregon GOP has started a recall petition against Democratic Gov. Kate Brown.
The Oregon GOP is throwing what can only be described as a tantrum. Republicans haven't prevailed on their extremely conservative agenda, so they're launching an effort to recall duly elected Democratic Gov. Kate Brown.
Voters in Oregon have made it clear they want to be represented by Democrats. In addition to holding the governor's seat, Democrats have supermajorities in the Oregon state House and Senate. But that doesn't matter to the GOP. Since Republicans can't win at the ballot box, they're launching a recall petition to unseat Brown.
The chair of the Oregon GOP, Bill Currier, kicked off the recall effort on Monday, when he filed a petition with the Oregon secretary of state. If the GOP collects 280,050 signatures in 90 days, Brown would have to resign or give a reason for her refusal. If she chooses the latter, that reason would go on a recall ballot in a special election.
Of course, the GOP doesn't have a legitimate reason to recall Brown. She hasn't done anything wrong, Republicans just don't like her policies. The reasons listed for recalling Brown include an attempt "to deprive Oregon's working families of jobs using faulty environmental policy" and granting driving privileges to undocumented immigrants.
