Leaders of effort to recall California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) said Sunday that they have collected enough signatures to spark a special election this year. At a press conference, organizers announced that the effort has gathered 1.95 million signatures in support of the recall more than a week ahead of the March 17 deadline. The recall movement leaders said they still plan to try to reach 2 million before that date.
The recall movement gained traction as criticism has mounted against Newsom for his response to the coronavirus pandemic, particularly the restrictions against gatherings and on certain businesses.
Newsom won the 2018 gubernatorial race with 62 percent support in the state where Democrats have supermajorities in both chambers of the state legislature.
A poll from the University of California-Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies in January determined that 36 percent of respondents said they would vote against Newsom in a special election. Forty-five percent indicated they would stand by the governor if a recall election took place.

I know alll that. That's how we were set up to be, but you know there are too many cowards and communists who hate the rule of law inhabiting our government, so that won't be done. The "supreme" court fell down on its job - AGAIN - with their cowardice by refusing to hear legitimate cases challenging the election steal. They should be in prison for treason. We are in for it.
You're right, Loren. It's NOT the people; it's a few dumbtards who always vote demoncrat, and the ones in charge will do anything and everything they can think of to screw up all elections, as we witnessed first hand when OUR REAL President was re-elected and satan's minions used foreign software, among other things, to fake the election and turn it over to beijing Biden. He is NOT President, and he doesn't have an "administration." I truly wish that all the writers on the conservative blogs would quit using the leftist rhetoric by referring to him as President, and I always tell them that. He is NOT.
The People and President Trump were betrayed by the several states and Congress... the State's failed to rein in election fraud, and when it was exposed they elected to ignore it... The Constitution allows states to choose their electors, as they see fit... either by appointment or popular vote. However, it is the state legislature, not the people who choose how the Electors are selected and HOW THEY VOTE... Their vote is a State Legislature and Electors prerogative.
We may not like what happened... however, the Constitution provides for several checks and balances when such acts occur. The State's hold the keys to the Kingdom, in other words, we need to focus on why the State Governors, Legislature, Secretary of State, and others failed in their duty to defend our votes from fraud? It is also important that we understand the mechanism by which the President and VP are elected and the POPULAR VOTE IS NOT THE WAY THEY ARE ELECTED. They are elected by the STATE LEGISLATURE thru a statutory system that provides for State Electors to be sent to Congress on January 6th of the year following an election to cast THEIR VOTE... not the people's vote... for President and VP.
Our system of Representative Government puts the States in charge as the primary sovereigns... however that system has been turned on its head... as the states have abdicated their duty as soverign to their creation. The Federal Government is the creation of the States and the Chief Executive of the federal government is the STATES servant... elected by the Electors of the several State's Legislatures. Presidents are in effect elected by the states. This is or was once an important check on federal power and together with the original system of selecting US Senators by the State Governor or Legislature, the Constitution clearly put the Federal Government in the hands of the State... not the other way around.
If we want to return to our forefather's system we must repeal the 17th Amendment and restore state legislatures with the sole power to appoint US Senators, and Presidential Electors.... not the popular vote. A popular vote is too easily subverted, defrauded, and twisted by men... keeping the election of our President under the direct control of State Legislatures makes the President a servant of the State... and the State, when properly supervised by local voters ... will bring the Federal Government to heel. What we have now is the democratic election of a President. Democracies never work, as they rapidly succumb to the mob... Those with the loudest voice and nothing to lose; those willing to resort to violence and fraud to get their way end up ruling in a Democracy.
Our founding fathers warned against becoming a democracy... they elected to establish America as a Constitutional Republic... knowing that representative government with built-in checks and balances provided the very best of Democratic and republican forms of government. They intended the States to be the key sovereigns with the federal government being the servant of the State... a federal body which would act only where the mutual interests of the states were present and needful to the joint venture.
Yes, they elected to ignore it and that is CRIMINAL on their part. All of them should be proseuted for treason but I don't think there are enough real men with the guts to do what we all know is right. Batten down the hatches, folks; it's going to be a bumpy ride and it will become a lot worse before it gets better, if it ever does.
Can anyone say New Age Aristocracy... the power to govern is no longer found in the voter's franchise... it is found in the coronation process managed by an algorithm in the DOMINION SERVERS. Rigged elections are now managed by computer software making it more difficult to detect or prove.
Well, I believe until I see it personally
In California are the voters sure that their vote is going to count? They have Dominion voting machines there and they cheat big time. Most people want gruesome newsom out but will it be achievable with the cheating machines and the cheating demcrats? That is the question.
Never again we will have a fair election after this NEW Giovernment has finished installing itself. Freedom died for good since they already got away with STEALING OUR ELECTION/COUNTRY on us. Live it up this summer. Satans rule will be in full force by the end of it. We're so screwed!!!
I am afraid you are right Phil. You are so right.
Don't count your chickens before they hatch... THE DOMINION VOTING SYSTEM Is in use in California.
“The state of California approved Dominion software to monitor statewide election results despite many code flaws and the possibility it could be compromised by hackers, according to government documentation uncovered this week.
The report, conducted at the behest of Secretary of State Alex Padilla, found 180 discrepancies in the software code which were not compliant with California Voting System Standards. His staff concluded that they were “purely stylistic in nature and do not adversely affect the usability” of the source code.” Of course, it doesn't ADVERSELY affect usability ... it enhances election fraud... something California's Democrat Party has perfected. Screw the code violations the Dominion Software gives the Democrats the keys to victory every time.
Elections using Dominion are not elections they are coronations... don't look for Newsome to be leaving Sacramento anytime soon.
