Newsom recall: all week long I was hoping he'd hit 60%, to send a message to trumpsters.

[C Moon]

CNN has him over 65% right now (10:30PM California time).
Now I'm hoping he passes 70%!!

1. Mail in ballots are accepted up to seven days after the election, as long as they are

Post marked on the day of the election

[NJCher]

8. On my npr

They said mail in votes would likely go for Newsom.

[mucifer]

2. Even if he got 80% they succeeded in wasting time and money and exciting their base

[C Moon]

6. Maybe. But I believe the GOP will have a harder time getting money from rightwing tightwads in CA.

15. When you think back thru CA's history, the diversity is what defines every seeker & dreamer from..

..the Gold Rush to the Grapes of Rath
. Hollywood stars to Voyagers sailing the Sea. Silicon Valley, to Vinyards & Music Legends to Harvey Milk & the LGBTQ history.
The lay of the land. Redwoods to Desert it's generous Valleys & Mountain snow.
El Capitan.
Tonight, voters made clear their wish to respect & preserve all that makes CA the exception.

Bravo California!!!

16. I am so proud of CA voters tonight. They proved the MSM to be nothing more than just another...

... fictional movie script.

Thanks CA. Gov Newsome will never fail you.

[C Moon]

18. A few weeks ago the polls were saying it was 49% for yes.

BS polls. Just trying to get cash for ads.

[Cha]

21. As am I! I woke up thinking

about California this morning.. wishing for the BEST!

My daughter was born in San Diego and we lived there for 17 years.

What was the m$$$$$m predicting? Dire Straights?

[lagomorph777]

9. Thanks for the News, C Moon!

Hallelujah!

19. :)

11. I think Newsom will go on the direction, down towards 60% as ballots are processed

still a blow out

[BigmanPigman]

13. The local poll workers told me at 4 PM

that there was a BIG turnout in San Diego, especially for an off season election. I think people are sick (no pun) of anti-vaxxers being the big mouths we see in the media. Also, Elder was a terrible choice if the GQP were really serious about winning. He was extremely disliked.

[C Moon]

20. And their mayor was in the ballot.

[BigmanPigman]

22. I think that if the GQP supported

Faulconer they would have done much better since he isn't a crazy nut like Elder is. I guess I am glad they ran with a crazy nut, in this state anyway.

[haele]

27. The GQP pushed Faulconer to run to the right.

Which was actually lucky for CA Dems.

If he ran on his reasonably moderate record from being mayor of pro business and civil rights in San Diego, especially with his middling acceptance to address climate change and homelessness, he could have peeled off enough Indies, moderate Repubs, and dissatisfied Dems to make up for GQP zombies that went for Elder.

It would have been a lot closer if the media decided not to go with the easy outrage circus that Elder brought and sucked the air out of his "brand".

I wouldn't be surprised to see him run more moderate, like a Pete Wilson, when it comes to the Gubernatorial race next year.

Pro business and Techie Dem voters could be attracted to him because "he worked across the aisle" when Mayor. While the GQP convinced him to flirt with Trumpism for this recall, we ignore that aspect of his past experience at our peril.

14. excellent...

...

[IngridsLittleAngel]

23. Hey Elder.. I gotta song for you.. It comes from me, with all my heart.. And it's for you..

[C Moon]

24. LOL

[joetheman]

25. The same 35% who won't vaxx, won't mask, and claim voter fraud.

You can lead the stupid to facts but you can't make them believe it.
