SACRAMENTO — Propelled by growing voter frustration over California’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, a Republican-led drive to remove Gov. Gavin Newsom from office collected enough voter signatures to qualify for the ballot, state officials reported Monday, triggering for only the second time in the state’s history a rapid-fire campaign to decide whether to oust a sitting governor.
Recall backers submitted more than 1,495,709 verified voter signatures — equal to 12% of all ballots cast in the last gubernatorial election — meeting the minimum threshold to force a special recall election, according to a tally released by Secretary of State Shirley Weber. Barring intervention by the courts, Newsom will face a statewide vote of confidence by year’s end.
Though recent opinion polls showed that only 40% of California voters support recalling Newsom, an indication that the effort might fail, the success of the recall campaign in gathering enough valid signatures for a special election delivers a blow to Newsom as one of the nation’s most prominent and politically ambitious Democrats, who raised his national profile as a liberal foil to former President Trump.

Sure isn’t....nor is Mickey Mouse or Goofy! But remember they donated to bammy’s campaign.
Highest vote total
He will be retained.
Plurality.
The KRCA website is wrong. Surprise.
I think Oregon is going to get another recall petition going to oust Brown. We only missed enough signatures by 1%-I think we really had enough, but it was right during the covid outbreak and another petition would get it done.
having participated in the recall effort, i think we can take credit for the opening up of the state at the very least, win or lose. Newsom’s feet are to the fire now and that’s the way it should have been the last couple years. but he gets a pass from the press and the legislature is a joke on all of us. so we have some months where he’ll perhaps make better decisions - on water, electricity, homelessness, the pandemic, etc.
My cousin in CA told me that Newsom is showering her university with cash from helicopters.
I wonder if I put “bruce Jenner” as a write in would Caitlyn get the vote
Watch "King of Kong" whenever you get the chance everyone. You'll thank us later.
Prayer alert
“All that just to get Gov. Jenner. LOL!”

Would she be the first female gov of Kalifornica?
It doesn’t matter if they are better or worse only different.
They already failed to make it go away.
Still winning.
I think California has always been conservative, but has the same problem that Arizona has:
decades of institutionalized election fraud.
At my work I meet folks from all over. Most migrating from California are very conservative.
Michigan, on the other hand, seems to produce a lot of lefties.
Michigan has a long history of organized labor Democrats.
How do you know if the election were held tomorrow it would legitimate and not a fraud fest? Do they plan on conducting a forensic audit to ensure it’s not a fraud free for all?
Woo Hoo! Let’s knock out this greasy-haired turd and see if we can shove CA into some shade of purple!
I’m afraid it will never be anything better than Lavender.
Glad a bunch of you posted today.
I got the text from the recall campaign but, hadn’t time to do much
JOhnny Carson’s Swami has risen from the dead. He holds the envelope up to his forehead and says,”Newsom”. He opens the envelope and reads what is on the paper, it reads “The winner of the recall election in California because they are still using Dominion machines to count the ballots and the demoncraps are officiating the election.”
