Gavin Newsom and his cohorts in the California Legislature are under the delusion that if a Recall Election is held sooner, rather than later, that it will benefit him. The ground operatives involved in the Gavin Newsom Recall saw this election manipulation coming, and I reported on it earlier in June:
This Legislature is working hard to ensure their sitting governor stays seated. According to the current Recall law, the budgetary process can take up to 60 days to review the counties’ proposed estimates. However, the Legislature has introduced a bill which will basically give the Joint Legislative Budget Committee the ability to allocate funds toward the Recall without going through a lengthy review.

I love the smell of inevitability in the morning, and an election to Recall Gavin Newsom just became inevitable. The final count of verified signatures by the California Secretary of State:
1.7 million.
Confirmed by the local news.
NEW: The campaign to recall Governor Newsom announces that the California Secretary of State confirmed today that the campaign collected 1,719,943 verified signatures, which is more than 200,000 over the 1.5 million that was required. Goes to the ballot later this year.
And the data geeks.
1,719,943
Opponents hoping to short circuit the recall need to convince 224,234 voters to withdraw their signatures by June 8th, which seems like a tall order.https://t.co/Khb5QWeetDpic.twitter.com/zfitjtWWip
