This was their only chance to possibly retake the state that gave us Nixon and Reagan (which are probably more liberal than today's GOP) and they blew it, bigly.

The recall law is nice to have in a bad situation, but it has to be revamped. It's too easy to invalidate an election on a bunch of bullshit.
