I heard it on NPR's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me.

They missed the deadline to have Democratic Party listed next to his name on the recall. I don't believe he can run on his own recall ballot if he loses.

Everyone who votes attends a rally for their candidate. That's why the crowds at Trump vs. Biden rallies is proof of widespread voter fraud.

incorrect. they work for us, and we have the right to terminate their service if they fail to serve us well.

The firing I like. The spectacle of a special election is annoying

I agree, but the way it works in California is stupid. The fact that Newsom could lose the recall with 49% of "no" votes but the new governor could win with like 15% of the vote is very, very stupid.

At the very least, there should be a runoff with the top 2 or 3 candidates if one candidate doesn't get more than 50% of the vote.

That's because I don't fit in a normal tub. It always splashes over the edge.

Especially if that person with the 15% is a talk radio host.

that would spread out the recall & election over a longer period of time and cost more money. doubt anyone wants that to happen, especially since there have already been complaints about the cost of this one. 

i'm sure there's a better solution somewhere out there between what we're currently doing and what you suggested.

In what kind of democracy is it acceptable that a person could win an election with a fraction of the vote? If it were a Republican governor being recalled, how would you feel about some progressive SJW becoming governor just because they got the largest piece of a gigantic pie?

[Taylor]

Also, if you're in favor of this recall, please spare us the argument that upholding democracy would "spread it out" and make it cost more.

ya, Tank

Over this whole process I’ve heard a lot of people complain about the recall process.  Weirdly I didn’t hear any of it until it became apparent Newsom might lose.  I’ve also heard no suggestions on how it should be changed.

I did hear a lot of people talking about the cost a couple years ago, when the notion was first introduced.

I’m talking about as far as how the replacement is decided

You know that feeling we get as Angel fans every year because they don’t win? That’s how it feels to be a conservative in California. The libs have control of everything over here

You know how it feels to live in NH? We don't even know what the fuck we want. A Republican governor with two extremely conservative Dem senators.

We also have shitty beer and fuck all to do.

I will give California credit when it comes to alcohol. Loose laws and lots of good breweries
