MORE ON CA RECALL LAWSUITS

by Bob Walsh

It seems there are three lawsuits going forward against the CA SecState regarding the Newsom Recall Election due to take place in about seven weeks.  The field is supposed to be finalized today (Wednesday).

The primary lawsuit OMHO is by Larry Elder.  The SecState is refusing to certify him as a candidate on the basis of the five years of back income tax date he supplied was "improperly redacted."  Elder has responded that it is HER job and not his to correct any errors and furthermore the tax records thing is a requirement of a PRIMARY election.  He asserts, with some justification, that a recall election is NOT a primary election.  

It will be interesting to see how things work out as the deadline is fast approaching to take care of this sort of stuff.
