Proponents of the effort to remove Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom of
California from office have collected enough valid signatures for a recall
election, the California secretary of state's office announced Monday.

The announcement kicks off a 30-business-day period in which those who
signed the recall petition may withdraw their names. County election
officials will then have 10 business days to report how many signatures
have been withdrawn. If the threshold is still met, a recall election
would take place after a budgetary review and scheduling process expected
to last several months.

The recall drive began in June 2020, and a court extended the deadline for
collecting signatures because of the coronavirus pandemic. The group
running the signature drive — Recall Gavin 2020 — posted a lengthy list of
grievances against the governor on its website: "Unaffordable housing.
Record homelessness. Rising crime. Failing schools. Independent
contractors thrown out of work. Exploding pension debt. And now, a locked
down population while the prisons are emptied. Hold Gavin Newsom
accountable."

Newsom and other Democrats have said the effort is led by extremists and
pro-Trump Republicans. An Emerson College poll in mid-March showed that a
narrow plurality of California voters would keep Newsom in office: 42%,
versus 38% who said they would vote to remove him, with 14% undecided. Six
percent answered they would not vote in a recall election.

If the recall election is held, voters would face two questions on the
ballot: whether to remove Newsom from office and who should replace him.
Newsom is not allowed to appear on the list of replacement candidates.

The only time a California petition succeeded in forcing a gubernatorial
recall election was in 2003, when Democratic Gov. Gray Davis was removed
and Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger was elected to replace him. There
were 135 names on the replacement ballot, and many are expected again
should Newsom face a recall.

Several candidates have already declared themselves, most recently
Republican Caitlyn Jenner, the 1976 Olympic decathlon gold medalist,
reality television star and transgender rights activist. CapRadio reports
that others include former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, businessman
John Cox and former U.S. Rep. Doug Ose, all Republicans.

Though a Republican has not won a statewide election in California since
2006, the math of a recall could challenge precedent. Recall proponents
have to collect only 12% of the number of votes cast in the last
gubernatorial election to force a ballot. Because of the expected large
number of replacement candidates — and the unlikelihood of a strong
Democrat entering the race — if Newsom is removed a Republican could win
office with far fewer votes than Newsom received in 2018.
