Because of the recall rules a candidate with significantly less votes could replace the governor. If a majority vote in favor of removing him then whichever of the 45+ candidates running that gets the most votes wins. They dont even need a majority of votes, simply who gets the most among them.

Its a special off-year election against an incumbent, and theres a lot of angry Republicans/conservatives that are motivated to remove him.

The leading candidate to replace him is a nutty conservatives radio talk show host and pretty much all his political opinions and things hes said are trash.

I remember liberals laughing at the push to get enough signatures for a recall election, saying no chance it would actually happen. They should have learned after the 2016 election to not be complacent and laugh this kind of s*** off.

I don't remember anyone saying getting enough votes wouldn't happen, just that the required amount is absurdly low.

I have BLM-supporting Cali friends that are so excited at the prospect of anyone replacing Newsom. It's kind of concerning.

They wouldn't have if they weren't given more time.
