LOOKS LIKE THE NEWSOM RECALL IS OVER THE TOP

by Bob Walsh

The RECALL THE ARROGANT COMMIE BASTARD campaign in California needs not quite 1.5 million valid signatures to get on the ballot.  They have now turned in slightly over 2 million, with six days yet to go.  They have been running about 84% valid signatures so they should be well over the top unless there are massive shenanigans within the county registrar's offices.  I am not ruling that out, but the recall campaign has been paying an independent third-party auditor to go over the signatures so it may be difficult to convince a court everything is kosher if the counties come up with something that is massively different.  

Newsom is now calling out his road dogs to help.  They are whining about the cost of the special election.  Also, under CA law, it is now legal to approach the petition signers and attempt to coerce them into withdrawing their signature if they do it within 30 days of the date of the signature.   That is allegedly going on, but all I am hearing is noise on that subject.  Nobody has so far quoted chapter and verse that I have heard of.

There is now IMHO a near certainty that the election will occur.  Whether or not Newsom will be removed is a real question, but special one-issue elections tend to bring out people who feel very strongly about the issue.  The WE HATE NEWSOM people feel very strongly about their position.  The WE LOVE THE COMMIE BASTARD people not so much.  

An important secondary benefit is that the recall campaign may give some push to the recalls getting started against the L A and S F district attorneys.

GO RECALL.  THROW THE BASTARDS OUT.
