Newsom Recall Effort Reaches Major Milestone

California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom's team is increasingly concerned over the latest recall effort against the governor, and they should be. California Secretary of State Alex Padilla notified organizers of the recall effort on Thursday that the group had crossed the 10 percent threshold of signatures required under state election code.

According to the recall group, county registrar recorder officials must now begin the process of hand verifying every petition collected. Proponents of the recall say they have collected more than 800,000 signatures of the 1.5 million necessary to trigger a special election. And organizers say signatures are pouring in following the governor's recent trip to the French Laundry and Newsom's efforts to lock down the state again.

While the governor has always been a divisive figure, Newsom has given his detractors plenty of ammunition in a year marked by deadly wildfires, administrative incompetence, a radical left-wing agenda, and brutal lockdown orders the governor seems to have a hard time following himself.

Newsom's outgoing chief of staff, Ann O'Leary, is reportedly on the shortlist for jobs in the Biden-Harris administration, according to POLITICO, and O'Leary's departure comes as the governor reaches his lowest point in office. A good time for O'Leary to bail. In an article detailing O'Leary's career, POLITICO reports that Newsom's team is increasingly worried about the recall effort (emphasis mine).

Should be 50 not 10 in first sentence. It is hard to get petitions signed under stay at home orders. Churches should have a lot of people willing to sign.

It would seem that they have a hell of a lot more than 10 percent. I see recall booths everywhere and folks are trooping in to sign the petitions.

Funny, we don’t have to verify signatures to get them into office, but we do to get them out.

I’m a bit afraid to ponder who might replace this hyena.

Exactly-—whoever is in charge of “verifying” signatures will claim the numbers come up short and will continually claim that millions of signatories don’t even exist, exactly like the bogus November 3 vote.

Both should be required!

During the Kalifornia shutdown and at family and other “permitted” gatherings, everyone ought to print, fill out and mail in the on line petition for recall.

There’s no need to go anywhere to sign a petition.

Follow the instructions @ recallgavin2020.com/petition

It would be funny if they found out half of the signatures were illegals.

Would illegal's votes suddenly be no good?

You should be afraid, but look at the bright side: He has higher office in mind in the coming years and he, at least, would be permanently derailed

“According to the recall group, county registrar recorder officials must now begin the process of hand verifying every petition collected.”

So they can verify every signature of a racall petition but not of an actual election.

He’ll probably appoint himself to the Senate - whether to Kamala’s seat or Dianne’s remains to be seen. :)

Something that can't spell "hyena," I would imagine.

5 million republicans.. so based on California’s insane majority, removing one nut and replacing with another is what California will get.

Liberalism is a far deadlier pandemic than COVID ever was.. worse than the plague as well.

Yes, we need to work on this. All restaurant owners need to have remove Gov. Nuisance petitions for customers to sign.
I’m sure you will get plenty of both Democrat and Republican signatures.
