On Thursday night, March 10, Recall Gavin 2020 campaign organizers and volunteers announced that the number of people who support the recall of California’s Democratic governor, Gavin Newsom, has surpassed 2.06 million, meeting internal expectations.
On March 6, voters caught the last train to sign the “Recall Newsom” petition in Chino Heights to support the recall of Newsom.

The Secretary of State has set the final deadline for the campaign at March 17. Under California election law, a special recall election can be held if 1,497,000 valid voter signatures support the recall of Newsom.
In the past few months, the statewide volunteer effort to collect signatures has not stopped, even though the number of signatures collected has long exceeded the 1.5 million threshold, in order to avoid duplicates, formatting errors and other invalid signatures affecting the final total.
As of March 10, the night of the internal deadline set by the “Recall Newsom” campaign committee, the number of signatures in support of the recall of Newsom had exceeded 2.06 million. Some volunteers said this was enough to make up for the potentially small percentage of invalid signatures, allowing for the official requirement of valid signatures.
Of all the signatures collected, 1,871,573 have been internally pre-verified by an outside third party; 1,800,000 signatures have been turned in to voter registration offices in 58 counties statewide.
Orrin Heatlie, president of The California Patriot Coalition, the only official committee of the “Recall Newsom” campaign and the campaign’s chief sponsor, said. “The voice of the people of California is loud and clear, and we have reached another milestone. As we know, the kind of political (domination) that California has always had in the past is over.”
Newsom, California’s current governor, is seen as one of the icons of far-left radicalism. Since taking office in 2019, there has been an unending stream of civic-initiated recall actions against him.
The “Recall Newsom 2020” website (recallgavin2020.com) lists 65 reasons to recall Newsom, including the fact that under Newsom’s leadership, California has been saddled with a $1.3 trillion state debt; the implementation of a double-label policy, imposing a no-footing policy on Californians during the Epidemic while being caught himself out to party in fancy restaurants; extreme government overreach; prolonged business closures that have devastated California’s economy; a billion dollar unemployment check to prisoners/felons; welfare to illegal immigrants; using the epidemic as an excuse to release tens of thousands of criminals including felony violence; making California a sanctuary state for illegals and criminals, etc.
In addition, in the private sector, people are also very unhappy with policies such as Newsom’s constant tax increases; supporting the public Education system to indoctrinate children with radical sex education and support abortion; prohibiting eviction of non-paying tenants during the epidemic; restricting people’s right to speak, assemble freely, gather in churches or at the beach; and not allowing open schools, resulting in children not being able to attend school regularly and a huge increase in suicide rates.
The statewide “Recall Newsom” campaign is seen as a volunteer-led, nationwide movement, regardless of party affiliation, ethnicity or age, with more than 80,000 volunteers participating to collect signatures.
“We have built an ‘army’ of volunteers who will defy the odds and will not be part of this historic campaign,” said Mike Netter, co-sponsor of “Rescind Newsom 2020. campaign to defeat California Governor Newsom, we will not rest.”

The next step, as long as the number of valid signatures can reach 1.5 million, California voters will have the opportunity to elect a new governor this fall.
