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

Newsweek is highly concerned for Governor Gavin Newsom. The national Democrat Party, who I suspect is behind this latest attempts at damage control, is pointing to the Biden’s Border Crisis as a potential tipping point in the current Recall effort to remove Newsom from office.
Along-shot [sic] recall effort by an ex-sheriff’s sergeant with a bone to pick with California Governor Gavin Newsom has quickly become real, thrusting a likely November election into the spotlight and raising concerns that the Biden administration’s deepening border woes could harm Newsom’s fight against the recall.

As Stephen Sondheim wrote, “Send in the Clowns”! This Recall has moved past the point of interesting, to no-holds-barred tomfoolery. And none more foolish than its object, Governor Hair Gel himself. CNN, POLITICO, the SacBee, all carrying his water for him, breathlessly reporting that Newsom is “fighting back”.
Uh Huh.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom launched a new campaign Monday denouncing a recall effort against him and blasting the calls for his ouster as a Republican-backed movement supported by “anti-vaxxers, Q-Anon conspiracy theorists and anti-immigrant Trump supporters.”

SAN RAMON VALLEY, CA A group of San Ramon Valley Unified School District parents have banded together to oppose a contentious effort to recall three board members who supported postponing in-person learning at the height of the coronavirus pandemic.
Notices of intent to recall have been sent to district board President Susanna Ordway and members Ken Mintz and Rachel Hurd.
Some parents were frustrated after the board unanimously voted in December to reverse course on its back-to-school plan and postponed a Jan. 5 return to class as COVID-19 cases spiked in the Bay Area and across the country. Younger students began returning to district classrooms earlier this month.
