The campaign seeking to oust Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom said Wednesday it has verified more than 1.8 million of the more than 2 million signatures gathered in its effort to trigger a recall election.

The news came as part of the campaign's announcement that it reached the 2 million signature mark, far surpassing the number it must collect ahead of its March 17 deadline.

Orrin Heatlie, the lead proponent of Recall Gavin Newsom, celebrated the petition breaking the 2 million signature threshold in a Wednesday news release.

The campaign's efforts to verify the signatures it gathers are independent of the state's official verification process. According to the campaign, its "outside third-party vendor" verified 1,871,573 by Wednesday evening.

State officials must verify at least 1,495,709 signatures—equivalent to 12 percent of the votes cast in the 2018 gubernatorial election Newsom won—in order for the recall to move forward.

Let that just stew

While I signed the petition and would love to see Newsom get his, I’m skeptical that it will result in an actual recall. We’ll see what happens—it will be fun to watch.

What do you rate the chances of the recall being approved?

I doubt will have to miss out within hours or days of it being certified, Newsome will lift all Covid restrictions, trying to make all of this old news.

[dinodino]

Interesting. I was kind of on the fence as to whether Newsom would try to double-down on COVID-19 restrictions, or do what you suggest...we shall see!

[Huskrrrr]

If this forces Mao Tse New into ope up the state, mission accomplished.

Just a friendly FYI, your title has a small typo, should be “On” like donkey kong, rather than “one”.

PS... I hope Newsom bites it bigtime.

Well it’s California and the signatures will be counted COMMIECRATS; so I would say the chances of it happening are slim to none, and I think slim left town with the start of mail in ballots only!

Just my opinion, HOPE I’M WRONG but I will still vote against that STUPID B*STARD!

[genetic homophobe]

Dude. One like Donkey Kong? In the headline? Come on, man

[granite]

There will be plenty of tomfookery.

[Pocketdoor]

It’s “one” like DK???? Lol

[KingofZion]

yes this will qualify for sure, and then the fun begins.

i said a while ago Gavin will have to choose between the teachers unions and the voters. so far he is sticking with the unions that will fund his campaign. but the parents are more numerous and they are very upset that schools are still remote. thousands of small business owners and restaurant workers are also upset with him. it’s not looking good for Gavin

[DIRTYSECRET]

5 million republicans in this state. No reason why we couldn’t have accomplished this in one month.

[Vendome]

Gimme a better headline for my posts on the 17th

[Vendome]

Oh! “One”

Vendome is dubm...

[Vendome]

[Vendome]

100% and he knows it.

We have already audited 1.7 million verified signatures

[Secret Agent Man]

Our electorate here is slow witted and stupid, they’ll blow with the wind. The wind will be the dozens of candidates hammering home that the misery here and COVID frustration are all Newsoms fault. There’s no personal loyalty to him. He’s toast

[Rastus]

Where we go one, we go Kong
