GEORGIA: Raffensperger BEGGED For 100 Chinese To Vote For Him By Mail in 2015, Won By 159 Votes
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger begged for 100 votes from the Chinese-American community. He won by 159 votes.
A petition to recall embattled California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom is picking up serious steam as the governor faces backlash over stringent coronavirus lockdown orders, a hypocritical dinner visit to the French Laundry, and an emerging unemployment scam.
As of Thursday afternoon, the petition had been signed more than 820,000 times, Rescue California representatives told Fox News. That's more than half the 1.5 million signatures needed to force a recall vote, and the group still has several more months to go to reach the requirement. The deadline for gathering signatures has been set for March 10, 2021.
Rescue California's campaign manager, Anne Dunsmore, told the news outlet that there are at least 2,000 to 3,000 active volunteers on the ground propelling the initiative forward.
"The citizen movement on this [effort] is really something to see, and you have to see it to believe it," she said of the sixth attempt to oust the governor in just under two years.
If the recall qualifies for the March ballot, California residents would simply vote yes or no as to whether Newsom should remain in office. Further down the ballot, they would cast votes for a host of ambitious Republican challengers — and perhaps even some Democrats — who either garner 65 nomination signatures and pay a roughly $4,000 filing fee, or just garner 7,000 signatures.
What else?
Reporting on the news, Politico's Carla Marinucci acknowledged that the "long shot" effort is getting "serious" and even has Newsom's team "increasingly concerned."
She pointed to several factors making the recall effort a realistic threat, one of which is that it has received backing from both local and national Republican Party figures.
Recently re-elected Rep. David Valadao reportedly confirmed the move, saying, "We all support it. Our campaign offices all had the petitions there. A lot of our events had folks there gathering signatures.''
