The effort to recall California Governor Gavin Newsom hit an important milestone this weekend. A spokesman for the “Recall Gavin 2020” campaign says they have gathered 1,509,000 signatures — enough to place the issue on the ballot for an election to be held within 80 days of the secretary of state certifying the validity of the signatures.
The ballot will ask two questions; should Newsom be recalled and who should replace him. As for the former question, Recall Gavin 2020 has a succinct answer: “Unaffordable housing. Record homelessness. Rising crime. Failing schools. Independent contractors thrown out of work. Exploding pension debt. And now, a locked down population while the prisons are emptied. Hold Gavin Newsom accountable. Gavin Newsom must go.”
As for the latter question, the 2003 recall of Gray Davis 135 candidates qualified for the ballot. Expect at least that many this time around.
Organizers are aiming for 2 million signatures by mid-March due to the verification process and the campaign is seeking a comfortable margin. The group noted there was a 25% disqualification rate among signatures collected last time.
“We’re not there yet. We wanted to take the opportunity to celebrate the milestone along the way. But our job is not done. We’re working as hard as today as we were yesterday, and we’re going to work harder tomorrow,” Economy told Fox News. “And if it wasn’t for this amazing group of volunteers that have dedicated so much of their lives, we wouldn’t have gotten to this point.”
Indeed, this was a true grass roots movement that sprung from the efforts of a few civic minded citizens in northern California back in June. From there, it has grown into a multi-million dollar campaign with all the tools of a modern campaign.

MOST RELEVANT QUESTIONS:
Do we have mail-in voting still in place in California?
Are Dominion machines being used to count the votes?
If so, this is again an exercise in futility.
vote harvesting as well...
Even if you manage to win and get a republican governor I am pretty sure democrats are veto proof in the house and senate.
But will the Secretary of State certify the validity of the signatures? Is the Secretary of State just another liberal and will this just turn into the guy to pay off?
So--never.
That's not enough of a margin. If they got 9 million signatures the Secretary of State would invalidate 8 million of them.
Get 2 million signatures first and demand it be done by in person paper ballot and you MIGHT get him out.
they will reject 30% of the signatures during verification.....unlike the voter signatures.
The first third have been processed with a 15% rejection rate. That’s about right. The signatures are verified by each of the 58 counties and the SOS just certifies the reported tabulations.
“The group noted there was a 25% disqualification rate among signatures collected last time.”
It’s amazing that the powers that be can easily identify whoever should be disqualified from participating in recall petitions, but they seem to have zero concern for people voting who are not qualified to vote.
Once ousted does Newsom get to keep the $1.4 billion he stole?
Past post: Where is the $1.4 billion Newsom stole back in April 2020? He said he was buying 200,000 masks a month from a chinese BUS company. None have shown up.
Meanwhile hundreds of millions are made right here in the USA.
