California Democrats are so concerned the campaign to oust Governor Gavin Newsom may work that they’re going straight to the political tricknology playbook we saw in the November election and scheming to defeat the recall by nearly any means necessary. The Sacramento Bee reports there are several ways they’re considering putting a monkey wrench into the works.
Here’s a list of the ways in which Democrats plan to make rule changes or do what they can to benefit their political party:
The Bee reports that Democrats are considering trying to change the date of the recall to the “next regularly scheduled primary election, when Democrats are more likely to vote,” instead of November of 2021. They played the calendar game with the recall of State Senator Josh Newman in 2018.
They’re considering sending absentee ballots to every voter whether they’ve asked for one or not to swamp the system.
They will attempt to convince people who signed the petition to remove their names in a 30 day period after the signatures are turned in.
Their strategy is to “reduce signatures.” As many signatures as possible will be thrown out keep the recall from qualifying for the ballot.
Already using COVID shut downs to slow down the signature gathering such that recall backers went to court to get more time.
Believe they’ll use the extended lock downs to keep people from voting.
They’ve begun spinning the recall as a “distraction.” Tried to convince Californians that with all the money being wasted by Democrats (see EDD scandal) spending more on a recall for a new governor is wasteful.

“ They will attempt to convince people who signed the petition to remove their names in a 30 day period after the signatures are turned in.”
They won’t have to work hard - just threaten them with being “cancelled” which is certainly a credible threat.
Just sign it, Joek.
And that was my point, too. The recall movement will never be able to overcome all of the deadlines, signature challenges, mail in fraud, etc. The Dems will just not allow it and the legal system is just another tool for them.
Just like a 3 world country.
Bingo...The fish rots from the head.
You display all of the traits of a fellow
conservative Californian,😉
