CALIFORNIA — Gov. Gavin Newsom will face a gubernatorial recall election that
could unseat him this week. While many ballots have already been cast by
mail, Californians will have an opportunity to vote in person to decide his
fate on Tuesday.
There were 22,057,154 people registered to vote
<https://elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov/ror/60day-recall-2021/county.pdf> in
California as of Aug. 30, according to the California Secretary of State's
office. The deadline to register online for this election has passed but
Californians can still register in person
<https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/same-day-reg> at a
polling place on the day of the election.
Ballots include 46 candidates who are vying for Newsom's post, including 24
Republicans, nine Democrats and 13 others. But voters should know that former
GOP Rep. Doug Ose withdrew his bid for governor last month after having a
heart attack.
Although the state Republican Party last month decided not to endorse a
candidate, conservative talk show host Larry Elder has become the party's
front runner, leading polls for months.
Democrats have stood behind Newsom through the entirety of the intensifying
recall effort. On Monday, the governor was set to join President Joe Biden in
Long Beach for a final rally against what they've referred to as a Republican
recall effort.
On the ballot, voters will be asked whether Newsom should be recalled and who
should replace him. If more than 50 percent of voters cast a ballot to recall
Newsom, the replacement candidate with the largest share of votes will win
the governor's seat.
Democrats are pleading with voters to leave question two — where voters can
select a replacement candidate — blank amid a lawsuit
<https://www.scribd.com/document/520513114/Recall-lawsuit> and allegations
that California's recall process is flawed. Read more about that here

What's A Recall?
California has had recall elections as part of its political system since
1911. The process allows the public to attempt to remove an elected public
official from office before the end of his or her term. Before a recall
election can be initiated, a certain number of voters must sign a recall
petition within a specified amount of time.
The state has had 54 previous attempts to recall California governors. Only
one governor was recalled in California's history: Gray Davis in 2003.
Newsom has pushed back against the effort to unseat him, painting the
campaign as one backed by extremists, supporters of former President Donald
Trump and those against the coronavirus vaccines.
"This is — and forgive me — a Republican-backed recall where the principal
proponent of the recall effort wants to microchip immigrants," Newsom has
said. "These folks don't believe in science let alone climate science, and
they don't believe in the science behind this pandemic. There's a lot at
stake for Californians in this race."
