A new text poll is asking California voters if they would write in former Vice President Kamala Harris on to the ballot for the California governor’s race.
The poll, according to shared screenshots, lists three to four questions on the California Democrat.
It asked about the chances of the voter writing in Harris’s name, and then it asked in the scenario that Harris was actually running a write-in campaign, who the voter would elect.
The survey then asks the voter whether he or she thinks the process of writing someone is easy or not.
According to the California Secretary of State, a candidate must file a statement of write-in candidacy between April 6 and May 19.
Then write-in nomination papers must be circulated and left with a county elections official in that same time period.
Such an effort to qualify would be easy for Harris, who early in the election season was anticipated as the dominant favorite had she chosen to jump into the governor’s race.
“Takes a whopping 65 signatures!” commented Paul Mitchell, vice president of Political Data Inc, a bipartisan voter data firm.
News of the poll comes coincidentally right when leading Democratic candidate Rep. Eric Swalwell dramatically quit the governor’s race after reported accusations on Friday of sexual misconduct.
Competitors are jostling for Swalwell’s voters, but the leading Democratic candidates to take those votes — former Congresswoman Katie Porter and billionaire Tom Steyer — could also have baggage of their own, observers noted.

One of my favorite Kamalamadingdong quotes...””You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you”.
Right up there with a quote from Mike Brady...”Wherever you go, there you are”.
Miss Nancy was summoned by the Team, she walked out of her virtual Cave and fired a ‘warning shot’ in the air, saying Swalwell needs to get out of the race asap!
Immediately, all the sheep in the flock followed her lead, and echoed her demand.
Conclusion: Nancy is STILL acting as Minority Leader.
Hakeem Jeffries is the actual Minority Leader, at least on paper, but this should have been his moment to guide the underlings. Instead, he stands onstage listening to his ex Boss, with his mouth hanging open, like somebody’s Intern.
Kali deserves her
Sounds kind of labor-intensive, having to write in Kammy’s name on all those bogus ballots. Who’s going to pay for it?
Gee, never saw that coming.
I’m pretty sure filing date has passed.
she couldn’t even run a campaign- much less a state. but yes,do split the Dem vote more more more!!!
Swalwell wasnt, didnt stupid his perverted ass from running
Ha haaaaaas! The woman who climbed the political ladder on her knees.
I know you meant Kalifornia though. It just seemed like a cool pun to me. 😁
Somebody needs to start cooking on a commercial portraying all this as a game of musical chairs.
Isn’t that the Richard Nixon model?
Harris on the other hand is praised by the MSM and all ‘right-thinking’ people for being a black woman, an Indian woman, and a fearless defender of ‘Our Democracy™’ who ran a ‘flawless campaign’ for President only to have her richly deserved victory snatched away by the trash voters who voted for the Bad Orange Man.
“Did Horizontal take out the scumbag Swalwell? Rumors say the ballots have already been mailed out. No idea”
I haven’t received them yet, but it doesn’t matter if the push is making her a write in candidate. I encourage it, she will just siphon off votes from Der Steyer, and Piggy Porter effectively making Swallowswell leaving the race a push.
Buckaroo Banzai!
John Bigbooté!
Primarily the big cities and university towns. Away from that, the rest of the state is largely conservative.
just kamala
how about maxine?
or bass?
this thing is wide open
calling all dems
Horsepuckey!
I will write in whoever I damn please!
I do like the El Rush-Bo Operation Chaos idea.
Democrats like “firsts” when it comes to minority politicians getting into office. That’s all many, if not most, of them need for the major qualification. First whatever (women, black(?), etc.) Harris sounds good to them.
