So who/where are the Democratic candidates? Seems like the party should have fielded at least one candidate if for some reason the recall is successful. The way I understand the process it’s two fold, the first vote is whether Newsome should be recalled and the second is who should replace him if he does….the second question should at least get the Democratic candidate a plurality in this crowded field, but instead California may elect so e crazy righty with only 25% of the vote or less.
Edit - oh I just came across this site and noticed that they are Democratic candidates….so it’s weird that Republican Larry Elder is leading in the second question….I would think that the majority of those voting no would be voting for a Democrat on the second question, therefore given that person the plurality

Edit 2 - wow, I thought that the voters voted on both questions, even if they voted no on the recall. Now that understand the process it makes sense on why a well known Democrat isn’t on the ballot….it still sucks that a right wing crazy can end up being governor because he gets 25% of the vote on a low turn out election that doesn’t really represent the electorate
What I don't get about Trump sycophants
Is that loyalty only goes one way and that Trump would dump them in a heartbeat and could care less about them…they know this and still continue to worship him...this is just another example
