California Governor Gavin Newsom speaks to the media during a news conference in San Diego, California, February 8, 2021.
On Wednesday (Feb. 10), Thomas Beccaro, president of the Rescue California PAC, said his team has collected the 1.5 million demands needed Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, from being removed from office. He hopes to get 1.9 million signatures by March 17 to prevent the state from throwing out what he called “invalid signatures.
We’ve got over 1.5 million original signatures, but they haven’t been validated,” Beccaro tweeted Wednesday. I’d say 1.5 million sounds good, but it’s not enough. In order to secure eligibility (to start the recall process), we need 1.9 million.”
Anne Hyde Dunsmore, manager of the recall campaign, also said that more signatures may have to be collected because they must be officially verified and those that are not will be invalidated.
“If 82 percent of the 1.8 million signatures we submit are valid, then we only need 1.8 million signatures. And our goal is 2 million. So I think we have more than enough signatures.” She said.
The recall campaign, which is currently underway throughout California, can successfully start the referendum process to recall Newsom if it collects 1.5 million paper signatures from valid voters by March 17.
The promoters also reminded the public that those in power will do anything to stay in power, even attempting to hold a recall election hostage, so don’t take it lightly. The petition is valid.
According to previous media reports, Newsom’s policies of raising taxes, giving welfare to illegal immigrants, and supporting abortion have caused discontent among Californians. During last year’s COVID-19 pandemic, Newsom ordered the release of felons and violent criminals, extended tenant eviction bans for non-paying renters, and shut down businesses, further destroying California’s economy and security and leading to deepening public discontent.
In addition, during Thanksgiving last year, Newsom issued an Epidemic prevention order, requiring people to stay Home, but he himself violated the rules by entering and leaving high-end restaurants, sitting around with several people without masks and eating. After the news broke, the number of signatures in support of his removal surged by 400,000 in a short Time.
According to the California Secretary of State’s website, there have been seven recall actions against Newsom in less than two years of his tenure as governor. The first six failed due to insufficient number of signatures and other reasons. But each time it failed, another recall campaign followed.
