Californians to vote on Sept. 14

the right to vote and the right to recall for the second time in California’s history, the people are going to decide whether the governor can keep his job so well, Gavin Newsom stay or will he go, What’s interesting about California is not just that, it has the right to recall 18 other states due to its that the petitions have actually worked The rule states that at least 12% of voters from the last election have to sign over the last year. A lot of Californians have been unhappy with how Governor Newsom has handled the pandemic and Republicans saw their opportunity to try and trigger recall and succeeded. This isn’t the first time this has happened in California. You may remember the other successful recall back in 2003 because of who emerged as the winner. Arnold Schwarzenegger enough, California signed a petition to oust then Governor Gray Davis And the actor turned politician came out on top of a crowded field of replacements. Governor Schwarzenegger would go on to win re election in 2006, making him the last Republican to win a statewide election like Davis beforehand? Governor Newsom is facing the gauntlet in the form of two questions. Do you want the governor out and who do you want to replace him? What’s funny about the recall rules in California is there’s no limit to how many people can run and it’s a winner takes all contests where whoever gets the most votes, no matter what wins Back in 2003, more than 100 candidates were on the ballot this time around. There are only 46, like last time there is at least one celebrity candidate, Caitlyn Jenner threw her hat in the ring alongside about 20 other Republicans. However, the frontrunner, according to recent polling is a talk radio host named Larry Elder. If he were to win, he would become California’s first black governor. There’s also a former san Diego mayor kevin Faulconer and businessman john cox who made a name for himself by campaigning alongside a real live kodiak bear. The candidates are all promising voters something different. But they all believe Governor Newsom handled the pandemic badly and they say Californians suffered because of it. We’re not going to mandate our way out of covid 19. I’m a businessman, I want to solve the problem and mandates aren’t going to solve the problem. I really feel like this recall is all about how he has handled the covid response. And again, he’s a hypocrite. Governor. Newsom has made clear he thinks this special election is about playing politics in this state because this recall. Sure, it’s about the current occupant, but it’s also about all of us. If you read the petition, read the petition don’t even reference the pandemic. It’s about the values of this state and that’s what’s really on the ballot and it’s not just his future that hangs in the balance. If governor Newsom loses the progressive policies he and state legislator have championed could be on the chopping block. Like some of California’s most ambitious energy rules and regulations. There is also a possible Senate seat in play. If Senator Dianne Feinstein does not finish her term, the governor would appoint her replacement. That’s why it feels like there’s a national spotlight on this special election, with both the president and vice president paying the state of visit before the big day. What it all will come down to is turnout 22 million Californians are registered to vote and at least five million have already mailed back in their ballots. Those early returns seem to be going the governor’s way. So have the most recent batch of polls. But remember recalls are different from a general election, There is no primary and there is no runoff, although there are nearly twice as many democrats in the state. Republicans have already won the first leg of this race by triggering a vote. If on election day, a majority of voters say Governor Newsom should go, it will be a seismic shift and Governor Newsom will be gone when the dust settles. Whichever republican walks away with the most votes becomes the next governor of California.
