California voters are deciding whether to oust Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom and, if so, who should replace him. Here are five things to know about Tuesday's recall election.
FILE - In this Sept. 10, 2021, file photo California Gov. Gavin Newsom responds to a question while meeting with reporters after casting his recall ballot at a voting center in Sacramento, Calif. The last day to vote in the recall election is Tuesday Sept. 14. A majority of voters must mark "no" on the recall to keep Newsom in office.
But California’s recalls are like no other elections. Voters have to decide whether to recall the officeholder — in this case, Newsom — and then answer a second ballot question over who should be the replacement. This unorthodox process has had wild outcomes before — it led to actor Arnold Schwarzenegger becoming governor in 2003.
“The campaign seized on that and used it to literally create a very simple choice for voters,” Smith said. Both parties will be watching Latinos and another significant California group, Asian Americans, for the slightest sign of GOP gains.A longtime conservative talk radio host, Larry Elder has become the unlikely face of the recall movement. He’s the top-polling Republican among those vying to replace Newsom, and the governor’s team has been happy to keep the sometimes-bombastic Elder in the spotlight, highlighting his support for Trump and opposition to vaccine mandates and abortion rights.
Elder has begun to echo Trump by baselessly predicting that Newsom will win the recall only if Democrats engage in voter fraud. Elder said last week that his campaign has an “integrity board,” with lawyers ready to look into questions about possible fraud or other irregularities. People can contact his campaign through his website.
