please vote NO on the california recall. (and remind your ca friends how important it is to vote)

[orleans]

(my understanding is that if newsom doesn't get over 50% then the top challenger will "win." i hope there's a blue wave going on there where people are motivated to get out and vote rather than shrugging it off and not being bothered, thinking he'll stay in office b/all the other dems will go out and vote no on that recall)


They gave him a standing ovation!!! #VoteNoOnTheRecall California or we’ll be Florida by Thanksgiving.

3. Voting No on recall, with back-up write-in for Newsom.

10. Write-in vote for Newsom has no effect

“As the subject of the recall cannot be a candidate, a write-in vote for Newsom would not be counted,” a spokesperson for the California Secretary of State’s office said in an email. "Only certified write-in candidates are counted."

15. Aw Nuts! Thanks for letting me know.

4. If a Rethug wins will fill Diane's seat, we lose Senate & possibly Breyer's

[JohnSJ]

8. Only if she leaves offices. The next election for Governor is November 2022

The state has wasted 250 million dollars on this fiasco

This is the third attempt to recall Newsom, because the other attempts failed because they could not get enough signatures, and the only reason it succeeded this time was because they found a jackass judge to extend the deadline to gather signatures by 3 months

13. Yea, just was talking the worse case scenario, not predicting. Plus the Recall there is an abuse.

As you probably know, it started as a reform by the old Progressive movement, and the intention was idealistic to get rid of incompetent or criminal office holders , but it was turned into overturning election outcomes and an unscrupulous way to get the job.

5. K&R. So important!

[rpannier]

6. Used to live in California

Have told my friends whom I keep in touch with to vote no

[JohnSJ]

7. I sent my ballot in the day I received it and the next day I got a confirmation that it was received

and counted

It was a NO of course

The hard reality is that if the recall succeeds, it will be the Democrats fault, because the number of registered Democrats in our state is something like 45%, and the number of republicans are about 23%

The NPP are split, with an edge toward,

Voting is so easy here. Every registered voter is given a postage paid mail in ballot

No excuse not to vote NO

9. 50%? . ..

[orleans]

12. ...

According to the latest data from FiveThirtyEight, a website that aggregates data from various polls, the average number of Californians who say they will vote to keep and vote to remove Newsom are both just under 50%.

Of the polls analyzed by FiveThirtyEight, the leading contender to replace Newsom is conservative radio host Larry Elder with about 19% of the vote.

If actual polling results mimic the polls, that could mean a candidate selected by about 19% of voters could replace a candidate that was wanted in office by nearly 50% of voters.
