When polls show an easy win, that is usually when to expect cheating. So when they do cheat and win, they can say: See the polls were right!
That is why polls showed Biden winning all the time. Its a CYA strategy when you cheat.
They have NEVER forgotten that since Al Gore.
Unfortunately I believe the recall will fail (Californians are that stupid), but if it were truly a runaway win, would they be bringing in Kamala and Biden to help campaign for Newsom?
Also, the fact they chose Senators Warren and Sanders to be the lead on the anti recall commercials shows how lost CA really is.
