I read in another thread the signature verification was intense and only half are good so far. Of course democrats care about signature verification suddenly. Magic!

As reported by Newsweek on Saturday... Gavin Newsom Edges Toward Recall as Officials Accept More Than 80 Percent of Signatures

Any updates? Last I heard they had 1.8 million collected but not verified. With about 2 weeks to go I'd think 2 million is quite possible.

That is odd because the news was reporting yesterday that they were at 1.9million and 1.5 were verified, which meant there was enough to be submitted but the organizers were going to collect until the last minute to make sure as some of the verified would be contested.

WHat's this I'm hearing about Christine Pelosi and the dems have a back up plan to get Newscum to step down if they think the recall will go through?
https://www.politico.com/states/cali...ret-it-1369438 ""...In September, he could be doing great and we’ll proceed," said Democratic political strategist Christine Pelosi, daughter of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. "But if he’s really underwater, it may be that no Democrat could win. Then, he should step down as governor and Eleni Kounalakis should be the governor, and they should cancel the election. In that case, the Democratic Party would retain the governorship.""

Perhaps D still retain control, but I think it's premature to even think about his replacement. It's like thinking about how to do the PAT when the touchdown is still uncertain.

I remember when I was fooled by the Schwarzenegger 'Total Recall' lol, never again . . It might annoy Newsom personally to be recalled but whoever is elected in CA with the numerous shady voting practices installed today , it'll be another psycho puppet
We're not turning this around at the voting station, we've only gone backwards through policy the past 30+ years or stalemated something that was later implemented. |

According to a poll done, over 50% of those asked would still vote for Newsom in a recall election.
https://www.kcra.com/article/new-pol...ction/35990997 I can't tell if people here in California are confused, dumb, or still like living under tyranny. Hell, Davis was recalled for a legitimate but lesser of a reason! Last edited by cre8nhavoc; 03-31-2021 at 7:35 AM.. |

Don't forget, according to the pollsters Trump would never be elected president. As for me, Caitlin is the one.... That would really be one for the lib's: first trans governor and a Republican to boot....
After all, Arnie did a better job than most of them... |

There is a map in this piece (posted last night)... Newsom recall: What happens next with California's recall process for governor... showing where support for the recall is strongest. Let's just say that the recall petition didn't garner the best percentage voters that provided signatures from the population centers. That doesn't necessarily mean the overall numbers aren't there; but, it's not necessarily promising either.
What still has me concerned is the lack of a solid alternative. As NPR observes... Quote:

Isn't today the day the counties verify their recall signatures and the state declares the recall is on? I've been monitoring the news during the day and nothing. I thought there was something significant about today (29th) in relation to the recall.

Today was the final day for counties to certify their counts Secretary of State Calendar.
Easily enough signatures, recall electioneering is in process. |

Well, I guess the recall process is not popular with the Left, at least here in California...

Newsome will survive, he'll then cite a vindication and claim a mandate. Having gotten past the recall he'll feel embolden to do almost anything he wants.
Winning the recall will become a badge of honor, the martyr who made it through. There will not be a recognition that a significant portion of the population wanted him gone only that those that did had taken their best shot and they've had their say. Around that time some portion of the trillions will hit and some roads will get paved, your neighbors will be down at the car dealership looking to buy an EV and all the masks will be off. For many, Newsome getting past the recall will be like a breath of fresh air until the next big fire. That was always the risk of the recall, if it didn't work whatever was seen as bad will only go faster and father in that direction. Its like the speeder doing 120 and the cop chasing them runs out of gas, the radio doesn't work and there is nothing but 20 miles of straight road ahead. Think they'd slow down and go back and say "You know what? I was wrong, give me the ticket and I'll slow down" |

Not sure if this was answered already, but why is there such a long period of time between the recall vote being certified, and the actual recall election happening? I'm hearing September???
By then, yes, everything SharedShots said will have become true, and Californian's will have largely forgotten exactly why they were mad at Newsom in the first place. Politics is fickle... |

The recall election, not counting the cost to the State of certifying signatures and handling paperwork, will be close to $400,000,000. Four hundred million dollars... what a waste. That money could go to such better uses, since Newsom will survive the recall, obviously.

"State law requires that taxpayers get a rebate when a budget surplus hits a certain size, which has only happened once in California in more than 40 years. A spokesperson for the California Department of Finance said the numbers for this year's state budget won't be finalized until 2023."I'm no fan of Newsom, but the recall is an utter waste of money which will fail to remove the governor. Indeed, as others have noted, it will embolden him and he'll claim his victory as a mandate.

So the takers take and take and take until the drum beats get real loud signaling the tolerance for having things taken away has been reached. Then it happens, something like a recall or whatever. The astute politicians (and no one can say in this case they aren't good tea leaf readers) then start to incrementally give back some little things. Ahhhhh, relief. The concerned group gets a hint of fresh air and thinks: see, it was only temporary and things are going to go back to as before which wasn't perfect but wasn't any worse than they voted for in the first place. Politicians know exactly when to let the air out of the expanding balloon. So he beats the recall. Getting signatures on a petition isn't close to getting actual votes because a significant percentage of the people signing petitions like the ones donating to some cause in a grocery store only do so at the moment and aren't really passionate about the whole process or cause anyway, they are the jellos, the ones who go with the flow. They are never the ones at the ends of the spectrum getting hammered they are always in the middle somewhere flicking their flippers so they don't get too close to the rocks and get beached nor too far out to sea where they might eat eaten by the sharks. I'd be happy to be wrong on this but right now more people are just wanting to take off their masks and guess what? While the CDC has given new guidance California and the counties have not. What happened to the science? The science of winning votes is very alive and well. Newsome will make an announcement at the perfect time telling everyone that they can now run around mask free and better yet, their kids will be in school full time in the fall. Well hells bells, what more could a concerned voter want than that? Just imagine getting to sit around at Starbucks sucking another triple pump, 4 squeeze, spit in the cup latte for hours on end happily watching Youtube videos and posting on Fantasybook for free courtesy of the wide open WiFi. Anyone think they are going to support the recall even if they signed a petition? What does any candidate have to offer? They can't give back what Newsome took and none of them say they will. Newsome on the other hand already has a list of what he took and giving back 25% or even less secures his position. It doesn't matter that there is still 75% gone. When you are thirsty and your throat is parched that first little sip of water is so sweet isn't it? Not so fast, don't drink it all at once, have a little, more is on the way. All you have to do is look where the petitions were, mostly in places where latte slurpers dare not go because their flip-flops might not protect their delicate toes. You know, places like sporting goods stores, guns shops, anything to do with hammers and 2x4s (you gotta love the people wearing flipflops in a hardware store). A significant percentage of the people who signed were just angry and why not just sign the recall, yeaaaaa, I did something - woo woo woo!!!! California isn't ready for a recall and its too bad because there is far worse to come and then no one is going to have the stomach to go that route again. The recall was meant for when things hit rock bottom so that there can be a lasting change. There was none with Schwarzenegger and there won't be this time either even if Newsome gets ousted. A drug addict doesn't stop using until they hit rock bottom and realize just what happens if they don't stop. Ever hear of a druggie who having started drugs and gotten into it before the really bad things happen decided to clean up? It rarely happens. So far Californians are all on some drug, the drug of government checks, promises of free housing and college and the drug of thinking socialism is the way to go and their party and guy are the golden path to get there. They aspire to be the model picture of the smiling couple sitting on a redwood deck over looking the ocean with the never empty glass of wine in their hands as they wait for their beach friends to show up with a bad of Lobster tails while junior gets to smoke his dope while he tunes into the latest Fortnite video and nothing and no one is getting in the way of that, especially some recall. It doesn't matter one bit who the opposing candidates are because not one of them can offer better than the promise of a politician. California has to hit rock bottom before a recall can work. What did the last one accomplish? Nothing. No mater how bad it seems, rock bottom is a lot farther down. |
