"He doesn't "say" he was elected. He was elected. Prior to his election the mayors just appointed their successors and never ran elections. He found this out, got an election ran, won, and now the city council refuses to swear him in."
@Miriamm what terrible framing by CBS news editors. They should have to change that wording immediately.

It reminds me of that "Officers kill man with no active warrants at wrong house" headline from a while back.

That's better than what I would expect. The media is more likely to say "Discharged weapon kills ..." instead of putting any reponsibility on the police.
