Newsom Can’t List Himself as Democrat on California Recall Ballot, Judge Rules (missed the deadline)
Epoch Times ^ | 7-13-21 | ISABEL VAN BRUGEN

California Gov. Gavin Newsom will not be able to identify himself as a Democrat on the ballot in September’s recall election, a Sacramento County Superior Court judge ruled on Monday.

In filing his official response to the recall effort from February last year, Newsom’s staff failed to designate his Democrat party affiliation. The governor’s campaign asked California Secretary of State Shirley Weber to allow the affiliation to appear, but she declined.

Newsom then filed a lawsuit (pdf) in Sacramento County Superior Court seeking to require all recall ballots to include beside Newsom’s name the words: “Party Preference: Democratic.” The recall election has been officially set for Sept. 14.

In the ruling, Judge James P. Arguelles rejected the governor’s request, stating that circumstances “do not justify excuse from the deadline.”

The law “unambiguously precludes party information from appearing on a recall ballot where the elected officer fails timely to make the designation,” the judge said.

Big deal. It’s CA. If they don’t keep Newsom, they will replace him with another equally vile Democrat. As far as I’m concerned, CA is a foreign country, and I won’t go there ever again.

Next question: Was this by accident or design? And if by design, who’s?

Can he list himself as a Communist? Since that is his real affiliation.

For what it’s worth, Shirley Weber is a fellow Democrat, who ruled against Gavin Newsom on this.

Newsom should be listed as “Traitor.”

Yep, ALL “Democrats” are now COMMUNISTS. It’s NO SURPRISE they LIE about WHO and WHAT they are since they LIE about EVERYTHING.

Big deal.

Newsom and Sacramento have already seen to it that the recall will be all mail-in.

I have no doubt it was a purposeful omission.

Next time all the yard signs go up for candidates, to tell the difference between republican and democrat, the Democrat won’t put party affiliation on the sign.

Funny how the people who claim to be the smartest in the room are anything but.

Probably done on purpose. I’ve noticed Dem candidates seldom put their Party status in their advertising.

Typical democRAT. They screw up everything that they touch. They can’t help themselves. It’s who they are and what they do.
