HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif.—The campaign seeking to recall Huntington Beach’s Mayor Pro Tem and two other councilors will be challenging the verification outcome of the Orange County Registrar of Voters’ office that determined it failed to meet the number of signatures.

The group, called ‘Save Surf City,’ which is seeking to recall Mayor Pro Tem Mike Posey, Councilwoman Kim Carr, and Councilman Dan Kalmick, fell short in its effort by about 800 signatures for each candidate.
