CayceG Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I just don't understand how someone with Larry Elder's views can be the leading candidate here... Do people just not care and all they see is "Democrat bad"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do people just not care and all they see is "Democrat bad"? You can win with literally any plurality on the second ballot question as long as the first ballot question passes. He's polling around 25% and that's amongst people who are voting for a replacement candidate; the Democratic party messaging has been that if you don't want Newsom replaced just vote no and leave the second question blank. So it's 25% of a group that's smaller than the number of people voting on the recall question and that's already self-selected toward rightwing nutjobs.

CayceG Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 So the Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the rules and might suffer greatly for it. Great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason they're doing this is because they feel that the "vote no, but also just in case..." messaging confused people in the 2003 recall campaign. It's also why there's no serious Democratic contender on the second question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaladinSolo Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Just remember it's not 2003 anymore, the gop is half the size of the Democratic Party in the state, and this is an election where everyone was sent a ballot, catastrophically low turnout isn't going to happen which is what is required for Newsom to lose this.

chakoo Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Best of luck my birth state. Results are starting to come in now and so far No is winning but the lead will most likely shrink as the night goes on. -edit- If Newsom wins tonight, the democratic party needs to make their first action to force dianne to retire.

I'm pretty sure it just jumped from like 63% Newstom to 69% (nice) Newsom with nearly 60% of LA County votes in. I don't think chud country has enough people to make this particularly realistic for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
