Since the Secretary of State’s last report (March 11, 2021), 1,188,073 signatures for the Gavin Newsom Recall petition effort have been verified by the office. That was over a month ago, and with only 1,459,709 verified signatures required to trigger a Recall election, and a validation rate of over 80 percent, it looks like that number will be reached, if it has not already.
Officials are expected to have the final tally by the end of April.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s critics almost certainly have qualified a recall election for the ballot, a remarkable feat in the heavily Democratic state. https://t.co/QUQOapzm4j
