The Delta County commissioners were not recalled for opposing DEI; they were recalled for controversially eliminating their county's ethics commission, suppressing information about a Conservation District contract, and firing their county administrator. None of the local coverage mentions DEI at all.
The Ottawa County commissioner Lucy Ebel was recalled for voting to fire Ottawa County's Health Officer for unclear reasons. She was part of an effort which eliminated the county's DEI Department, but that effort had majority support by the commission and the other supporters were not targeted for recall.
