Recall Election: Preliminary Results Show Gavin Newsom Likely to Remain Governor of California

Preliminary results of the 2021 gubernatorial recall election are in—Gavin Newsom is likely not recalled and will remain governor of California. Around 68.2 percent of people voted “no” in the election, according to the California Secretary of State’s Office, while 31.8 percent voted “yes.”
Larry Elder has received the most votes at 41.1 percent for who would replace Newsom if he is recalled.
In the 2018 gubernatorial election, Gov. Gavin Newsom was elected by the widest margin in an election race since 1950. Since his time in office, Newsom has faced criticism for his decisions to close prisons, suspend the death penalty, enforce vaccine mandates, and enforce COVID-19 statewide restrictions.
The grassroots effort to recall the governor began in 2020, more than a year before the recall petition cleared on June 23, 2021 and state officials confirmed there were over 1,495,709 signatures, the amount required to hold a special recall election.
In previous interviews with The Epoch Times, recall organizers attributed the impetus of the recall campaign to the governor’s decisions regarding COVID-19 state-mandated shutdowns and restrictions.
At the height of the pandemic in Nov. 2020, Newsom received backlash after attending a party at the French Laundry restaurant without wearing a mask and with visitors from multiple households—despite telling state residents to stay home and avoid holiday gatherings.
Following the French Laundry incident, county registrar offices reported an increase of recall petition signatures by 596,721.
As the pandemic continued, California continued to release unemployment funds to residents whose jobs have been lost due to the pandemic. As those eligible received additional funds, it was discovered more than $31 billion in EDD funds were claimed by scammers, including prison inmates.

Only if we could cordon them off from the rest of the country with razor wire atop 20 foot fences. Otherwise, Commifornia becomes a communicable infection.
That’s what I’ve been wishing for. That state is lost. Throw in Oregon and Washington.....they’re almost there. Big Blue cities are destroying them too.

I’ll just throw this out there.
In my opinion, people who like to do nothing but rant and demoralize, and who are too stupid to tell the difference between a deep deep blue State that has been long gone, and the rest of the country, are part of the problem.
Just saying.

But life doesn’t stay the same, and thinking that any state is “blue forever” is too hopeless and is normalcy bias. Things can and do change. Purple states become blue or red, and vice versa.
That said, one party states tend to stay that way. They have a lot of systems in place to maintain their power.

I wonder if Larry thinks this election was fair and square?

But conservatives are entitled to win every election, and when we don’t, the only possible explanation is fraud.

“too stupid to tell the difference between a deep deep blue State that has been long gone, and the rest of the country”
Hmmm...trying to figure out what part of the country isn’t long gone. There may be a few little strongholds but they aren’t going to turn this mess around all by themselves. If the rest of the country isn’t long gone, how the hell did we end up with Dementia Joe and all the clowns who just built a jihad empire in Afghanistan? I could go on, but I’ll stop there.

You cannot fix a rigged voting system by voting.
And if you dare describe the outcome as rigged, then you’re nothing more than a conspiracy theorist pushing “The Big Lie.”
And if you protest publicly, you might be confronted by people that cross the line and assault you. And if you push back in defense, you’ll be arrested for domestic terrorism.
You can’t vote your way out of it.
You can’t protest your way out of it.
You can’t defend yourself.
And yet you listen to others who voice “we’ll get them in 2022.”
No you won’t.
The 3.5 trillion is not dead. It’s lying in wait. Inside it are vaccine passports which IS EXACTLY the CCP model for 24/7 social credit score monitoring. Inside it is HR 1 language for having the Federal Government take over elections from states.
State election reform will wither because of a market drop coming.
The economy will be deliberately crashed. This will bring the 3.5 trillion bill to the forefront to “save you from ruin.” The market drop will be spurred by the US defaulting on its bonds, coming October 15.
Congress will rush through the 3.5 trillion bill to avoid default.
Once the Vaccine Passport system is in place, your life will forever be changed.

This is their plan, the Marxist plan, only they call it the “Build Back Better” plan.
Your 2A rants and threats don’t matter. If you try an armed response, your protest will be blacked out, you will be surrounded and taken out.
State forensic audits will be blacked out and deemed political retribution “against democracy” and shut down. There is nothing you can do to change that action. Future elections are not in your control. This is how Marxists take and consolidate power.
There are only two things that might ‘possibly’ help save the Republic. The first is a long shot and depends on the US Supreme Court. The second will look horrible historically.
1. Quo Warranto.
2. Eisenhower Standing Orders.
The first requires irrefutable proof the election was stolen AND a US Supreme Court that will hear it.. The second is an ugly, shocking military takeover and is full of danger.

I’m not at all shocked, it is after all California. Whether its fraud or stupidity by majority.
But what angers me is that elections are no longer valid.

If voters were as liberal as Derp State keeps telling us they are, there wouldn’t be a need to shove RCV down everyone’s throats would there?
NYC just got RCV.
Maine and Alaska have RCV.
RCV was put into HR1 for a reason.
And that reason isn’t because the US is full of flaming lefties.

“ Postal workers (with keys) stealing mail-in ballots right out of big mailboxes…”
The USPS is practically and organized crime family! They are home to some of the worse dregs of society who would steal anything of value and you can bet they were paid for their heist of “”YES” ballots.

Democrats have over half the EVs they need in every Presidential election going forward without having to spend a dime.
Meanwhile, the Republican candidate has to fight for every EV they get, even in Texas now.

I think its a cabal of public unions, their business partners, and people who want the free money giveaways for them and their families, from state coffers.
I believe Eric Garcetti...mayor of l.a. won in la in 2017 with 84% of votes...about 330 thousand. Out of a city of population 4 million. It was a 20% turnout. How many of those votesrs, ya think was from the public worker unions and people who profit from them?
All of them wanting to “share” in the tax revenue stream.Plus a few SJW’S..(the politicians pretend to care about social issues)...but it’s all about the money.

Yep. And the sad thing is, the grifters are playing the moron class like a fiddle, and they are chasing ghosts in machines rather than focusing on fixing the election issues that exist and preparing to vote out the Democrats in 2022.

Same here, but I sincerely hope that President Trump will be the first to congratulate Newsome and assure him that he won “fair and square”.
