Just voted "No" for the California recall.

A recall is really a dangerous option for Californians. My understanding is were Newsome to be recalled, an absolute nut of a Republican could become governor of a very blue state. Newsom would blow out Elder if they competed in an actual election.

I didn't add "AMA" as that would open me up to questions such as whether I'm wearing a bra and panties or pick my nose while driving.

A Republican isn’t going to win any kind of California gubernatorial in the near future so don’t sweat it.

You could put a candidate from the Party for Socialism and Liberation and she/he would beat the Republican candidate one on one.

Democrats instead of focusing on Trump might try to administer the states and cities they control, which are largely failures up to this point.

The great thing for those who don't like Newsom is that when there is a real election for governor in 8 months you can actually vote him out of office the correct way at that time.

This recall thing is total BS... it a foolish idea and a flawed process.

There is no way a hard-core Republican should be governor of California. I might consider a moderate Republican, but not him.

It sounds like it's because he's black, that seems to be your issue.

LOL Elder was blown COMPLETELY out of the water in a totally embarrassing showing for the CA GOP. Keep em coming guys, it just makes you look like clowns.

A recall is correct for Californians to get the really dangerous Dumocrat out of Office. Your understanding is not neutral, it's biased as per usual. Newsome would lose to Elder in an actual honest election, but Newsom would win if he cheated like Biden. SDSU couldn't be anymore of a liberal follower than he just proved.

And how was this not "an actual honest election"? Do tell.

Conservative mods are so think skinned on this site. They had to delete the thread about Newsom's huge victory being a direct result of Elder embracing Trump and Trumpism. Newsom was hugely unpopular but Trump turned the tide and saved him.

Trump is loved by the Republican base but he is killing that party. Trump's continued Republican popularity will destroy that party's chances on a national level.

The Republicans can continue the loser Trump lament, "its not fair they cheated and we really won" but that will just cement further loses for them.

The Newsom vote wasn't even close. Trump has done to the Republican party just what he was done to his companies and to those businesses who had contracts with him, he's bankrupted them.

The recall is such a stupid loophole. It's bizarre it's still on the books.

You know the 'No' vote is going to win by about 25 points, yep?

I suggest that all you alleged Californians learn to spell the Governor's name. It's NEWSOM and not NEWSOME.

Oh, don't be silly: It didn't turn out the way s/he wanted it to! It *must* have been a dishonest election.

Come on, now.

I voted no as well.

And I don't even live in California.

I found I site to buy ballots online.

Because a normal general election has primaries ahead of it to whittle down the candidates to one per party.

Here, if the majority votes yes to recall, then the sitting governor is not a choice on the ballot.

Instead there is a choice of a long list of candidates. In this case mostly Republican.

The person with the most votes wins even if it's only 10% of the total.

Doesn't seem like a great way to pick the governor.

Here is the list:

Thankfully California is not turning into Texas and Florida.

FYI in the last seven days Texans were dying from Covid-19 at FIFTEEN TIMES the rate that Californians were. And even with its bogus reporting method, Florida had TWICE the Covid-19 death rate that California had.

How fortunate California is, to have leadership helping to prevent deaths from this terrible disease.

Handsomely done. Credit where it's due.

That's awesome.

But no, literally 19 people can take 5% of the vote and one person can take 6% and be governor.

No, that's not *literally* true: Your hypothetical scenario adds up to 101% of the vote.

CA has the 6th largest economy in the world. For all our problems here, CA is not a failure.

(If CA is a failure, then what the hell is the Midwest? The Deep South? Care to compare GDP? Per capita income?)

That’s cool and all, but there are currently no covid-related restrictions on social gatherings in CA. None.
