Pat Riot Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Larry Elder is getting my vote. That sheet looks like an election roster in Italy. EDIT: I actually considered not voting as I am fed up with this state, but it's my right so I am doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I already voted and dropped the ballot off at the Court House yesterday. Elder was my man too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could lead to vetoes of some of the ridiculous legislation that flows out of Sacramento and maybe a few executive orders that could stem the tide of oppression!!

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 California has an interesting system. It takes a majority to recall a governor but whoever gets the most votes will be the new governor. So with 50 or so candidates someone with 2 1/2 or 3 percent of the vote could win.

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 The Republican Party wisely decided to NOT endorse any single candidate, the logic being that to do so might discourage some Republicans from voting if the party endorsed someone other than their favorite candidate. The focus is to remove Newsom (Governor Hair Gel, as my son refers to him - "GHG"). I find it a bit disturbing - but not surprising - that this form shows Elder being endorsed by the American Independent Party - a very right-wing political group. And I doubt sincerely that Mr Elder sought that endorsement. But I am sure that GHG's group were delighted to see it appear on that sheet (perchance with some assistance from them?), as it's sure to galvanize the pro-GHG bunch. The pro-GHG group has a history of ballot text manipulation, the classic example being California's Prop 47. This is the proposition that reclassified many felonies as misdemeanors, released felons from prison, and reduced many property thefts of less than $950 value to essentially a "ticket-able" offense. The proposition was advertised and on the ballot was titled "The Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act." Boy... talk about truth in advertising - NOT.

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 The ads call it the Republican Recall; also, I've heard it referred to as the Trump Republican Recall. Like that's a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA has the line item veto. It is a lot harder to get both the Assembly & Senate to each to get 2/3rd's plus one vote to override a veto when the veto is some specific appropriation or tax increase. There are a lot of expenditures & laws that Moonbeam vetoed that Nuisance has signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is how CA had the Governator. A plurality voted for the "B" actor with high name recognition instead of the state senator who new more about the state budgets than any other human being on the planet. After being termed out he became a Congressman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgavin Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 This ballot has two ballot issues: #1 - recall Newsolini #2 - pick a replacement We are also voting for Larry Elder. But first and foremost: we are voting to recall Newsolini. However... I figure Dominion vote counting machines are in place and reprogrammed... and his Aunti is Pelosi. The recall is going to be a tough battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
