This may be California Governor Gavin Newsom’s #TimesUp moment. No, it’s not over a sex scandal. The voters of California have spoken and they want a recall election. This news comes from the Secretary of State who confirmed today that enough valid signatures were collected to force a recall election.
According to FoxLA:
This is only the second time in California history that a governor has been voted to be removed from office. It remains unclear when the election will be held. As of Monday, more than 1,495,709 verified voters signed the recall effort, meeting the minimum threshold to force a special recall election.
The next phase of the recall process is the 30-business day period in which voters may request county elections officials to remove their names from recall petitions. County elections officials must report any withdrawn signatures to the Secretary of State within ten business days of the end of the signature withdrawal period. The Secretary of State must then determine if the petition still has the requisite number of valid signatures to initiate a recall election.
This is the third recall effort against Newsom. The first two fell well short, but a combination of poor Covid-19 responses and scandals surrounding his personal privilege during lockdowns exacerbated the other mounting problems facing the Governor and his state.
“This now triggers the next phase of the recall process, a 30-business-day period in which voters may submit written requests to county Registrars of Voters to remove their names from the recall petition,” Secretary Weber said in a statement. “A recall election will be held unless a sufficient number of signatures are withdrawn.”
Several Republican candidates, including Caitlyn Jenner and former candidate John Cox, have already declared they’re running against the Governor.
“Gavin Newsom will now be running against himself in the recall election. He created this recall because of his failed policies. Newsom has only one person to blame, and this is himself,” said Mike Netter, Co-Proponent of RecallGavin2020.
From here, a date will be set for the election. There will be two pertinent measures on the ballot. The first will ask if Newsom should be recalled. The second will list the candidates who can replace him. If more than 50% of voters mark affirmative on the first question, the highest vote-getter for the second question will be Governor.
Netter continued, “This has been a bipartisan effort, with more than 30 percent of the signatures gathered coming from Democrats and Declined to State Voters who are not registered with any political party, as well as registered Libertarians.”
There’s one more step to end the Newsom nightmare. Voters in California must affirm that he should be recalled and select the conservative candidate they trust the most to replace him.
And replace him with who?
New governor will be a black panther and BLM community organizer with long prison record for felonies but hates Donald Trump. Campaigns on promise to raise taxes for all, not just the rich. Wants closer ties to China. Reparations equal to income tax dollar for dollar as the standard. Ban on air conditioning in homes and gas to run cars.
And wins with 67% of Californians’ votes.
Let’s hope not. On the other hand: See voting results records for Pelosi, Waters, Willie Brown........
>>And replace him with who?<<
The sexually confused Bruised Gender, of course.
They cheat, and they'll make sure somebody just as bad as newsom is elected. Stuff ballots. Dead people voting. Whatever.
WAY too much lead time for the ‘craps to subvert and derail.
Vote next month or prepare to lose.
RE: And wins with 67% of Californians’ votes.
After the November 2020 election, the MAIN question we should be asking of ANY elections in these United States is this — are the same corrupt voting systems still in place? If so, then elections are pretty useless as the outcome will always be the same.
I hear Texas has threatened to lynch Mathyew McConnehey if he ran for Gov. there. He’s an pretentious elitist, maybe Commie enough for Commiefornia?
LOL
Another fu**ed up commie.
If Bruce Jenner replaces Newsom, at least we’ll know he’s not afraid of making cuts.
That was underrated.
Now, THAT is commentary!
Easy Dem solution to this “problem”:
1. Feinstein retires,
2. Newsome appoints himself as her replacement and
3. the Lt GOV assumes the Governorship.
No worries. He’ll be re-elected.
John Cox is a good guy and very capable.
>>Replace him with who?
It’s Cali. Maybe a staunch Republican like Bruce “Kaitlyn” Jenner.
Republicans running so far
No dick Jenner
John Cox (lol, what a juxtaposition) the 2018 ‘nominee’ who did very badly.
Former Rep. Doug Ose
Former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer who appears to be the establishment choice
I believe the vote will be first past the post, most votes wins. (no primary, a free for all)
Newsom is discouraging prominent rats from running (which is foolish, if the GOP vote is divided a single prominent rat would have it in the bag, Antonio Villaraigosa is reportedly thinking of running), I think he figures some Bustamante fans in 2003 voted yes to recall Davis.
I was wondering if Newsom resigns (if it looked like the recall question was gonna pass) would that cancel the election and allow the rat LT Governor to take over. The answer appears to be yes but I don’t know what the deadline is.
I'm still shocked how the ENTIRE California conservative base got snookered by the guy. (I know a prominent conservative activist in Illinois who says the one campaign he REGRETS working on was John Cox for U.S. Senate, because he ran such an embarrassing bad campaign) Either they did ZERO research into his political career BEFORE he ran for Governor, or simply ignored it and pretended he was the exact opposite of what everything demonstrated he was.
JOHN COX: Hey I'm John! I've never been elected dog catcher, but I ran for office a HALF DOZEN times before in Illinois and kept racking up landslide DEFEATS! Now I'm here to carpetbag in YOUR state and pretend I love it here and its always been my home! My main schtick is present myself as the "only true conservative running", even if there are 20 other guys in the race with solid, unquestionably conservative track records. Yup, I'm Mr. Conservative, just ignore the fact I'm gung-ho anti-death penalty. And I'm Mr. MAGA Candidate, just ignore the fact I was die-hard NeverTrump for years!
CA CONSERVATIVES: Wow, this dude sounds SUPER ELECTABLE. Forget nominating an actual conservative who has won multiple times like Travis Allen, I'm sure this Cox guy is the ONLY CANDIDATE who can make it a competative race against Gavin Newsom!
JOHN COX: Hee hee hee!!!!
I surmise that Newsom can’t have his name with the replacement candidates
