Gov. Newsom can’t tie recall to GOP in voter guide, lawsuit says2h ago ( August 3, 2021 at 8:37 AM ) By KATHLEEN RONAYNE | The Associated Press
SACRAMENTO — Top supporters of the recall against California Gov. Gavin Newsom want to block him from branding the contest as a Republican effort in the official election guide that will be sent to voters ahead of the Sept. 14 contest.
His contention that the effort is led by Republicans seeking to overturn the 2020 presidential election and an “attempt by national Republicans and Trump supporters to force an election and grab power in California” are “...Tags: Politics, News, California, California News, Sacramento, Sport, Soccer, Gop, Associated Press, Republican Party, Republican, County, Gavin Newsom, Trump, Kathleen Ronayne, Newsom 32 people like this. Like The celebrity factor in recall elections22h ago ( August 2, 2021 at 12:26 PM ) Many Californians laughed out loud back in 1998, when Minnesota voters by a wide margin elected longtime professional wrestler and sometime talk show host Jesse Ventura their governor.
But almost exactly five years later, those same Californians by a wide margin made longtime movie muscleman Arnold Schwarzenegger their governator and then kept him and his cigars in office for seven years.

However, the recall would not have qualified for the ballot, nor would polling indicate that the issue is in a virtual tie (47% of likely voters in favor, 50% opposed) if only die-hard Trumpies were supportive.

LOS ANGELES — California could witness a stunning turnabout in a nation of deeply polarized politics if the liberal state dumps Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom and elects a Republican to fill his job in a September recall election.
With the country’s political center largely vanished, it’s rare to see governors win elections on adversarial ground, making the notion of a Republican upset in one of the nation’s Democratic strongholds seem implausible.
