The campaign to recall Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom has gathered enough signatures to trigger a special election that could oust him from office.
California's Secretary of State Shirley Weber announced the validation of the 1,495,709 petition signatures needed to trigger the recall election on Monday evening.
The petition signers will have the option to remove their signatures as state officials calculate the election's cost, a process which could take up to three months, according to The Los Angeles Times.
After Weber issues an official final certification of the signatures, the state's Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis can then call for the election to occur within 60 to 80 days.

Needless to say any of the names GOP candidates running so far would cripple the state for years. They're all horrible people.

(20,683 posts)They ran the LT. Governor and split Dem votes on the second half of the recall and made dems more inclined to vote yes because there was a "safe" option. There should be no other major Democratic candidate. Let them try to beat Gavin with Miss Vehicular Manslaughter and rest of the nut pack. Don't repeat the run off mistakes of the past.
