They Have Enough Signatures to Force a Recall Election Against Newsom

Well, they have enough signatures, but they're still collecting them.

See, because Newsom will attempt to disqualify many signatures for having an erroneous address or for the signature not matching the voter signature on file.

Weird how now we're checking that again, huh? Seems that even though we still have a pandemic on, we check addresses and signatures when there's a Democrat incumbent.

So while they've got more than the 1.5 million signatures they need for a recall, they have to get extra when the Democrats crank up the signature-verification threshold to 115%. (Up from 0% in the last election.)

Organizers of the Newsom recall effort said they've garnered 1.825 million signatures as of Thursday. They need 1.5 million by March 17 for the effort to succeed but are accounting for a portion of the signatures to be rejected.

Also: Victim rights groups are now collecting signatures to recall pro-criminal, pro-crime Soros DA George Gascon.

After not yet three months in the office, Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon is facing a recall effort similar to the one faced by California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Recall organizers held a 'victims' vigil' Saturday evening to gather the 20 signatures needed from Los Angeles County residents to formally launch the process.

The effort needs to garner just under 600,000 signatures from registered LA voters, or 10 percent of the voter roll, to force Gascon to run again.

Gascon is under fresh heat for hiring an extremist anti-police/anti-prison prosecutor.

Sure. A prosecutor.

Actually a public defender pretending to prosecute criminals.

Gasc0n also took heat after he hired an embattled public defender who helped with his campaign to a high-ranking prosecutor position.

Gascon hired Tiffiny Blacknell as a Grade 4 deputy district attorney, and the move stoked controversy due to her lack of experience as a prosecutor and her past comments on social media.

During the unrest in LA following George Floyd's death last summer, Blacknell posted a tweet referring to the LAPD as "barbarians" and "an occupying army." She also used the hashtag "#DefundPolice."

Blacknell also said that "prison is obsolete" and called to "reimagine America without it."

I wasn't lying when I said she was acting as a criminal's public defender in the guise of "prosecuting" him. See for example:

Blacknell has a history of controversial decisions and rhetoric, including a 2020 decision to reportedly offer a "sweetheart deal" with a suspected gang killing behind the back of the victim's family.

"The deal fell apart after judge found out about it," Melugin reported.
