The percentages below reflect the percentage of votes received on the replacement candidate question only and are not calculated by using total votes cast in the recall election. Since 1911, there have been 55 attempts to recall a California governor. The only successful recall campaign was in 2003 when votersrecalledthen-Gov.Gray Davis.Arnold Schwarzenegger was elected as Davis’ replacement. In that election, 135 candidates ran, and the winner received 48.6% of the vote.

• Critics of the recall have said the process is unfair because, for example, 49 percent of voters could vote against recalling Newsom, and his replacement could have a smaller percentage of the remaining votes.
• The Democratic governor cast his ballot at an early voting center in Sacramento alongside his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, and took a glimpse of her vote.
• The California Independent System Operator called on Californians to reduce their energy use via Flex Alert today, and will likely issue additional Flex Alerts in the coming days.
• Newsom’s handling of the recall only feeds into the notion that he is an ambitious politician first and a public servant second.

Pro-housing Yes in My Backyard activists, or YIMBYs, who have been trying to increase density through similar measures for years, are among the proposal’s loudest cheerleaders. SB 1142, by Democratic senators Anna Caballero of Merced and Nancy Skinner of Berkeley, incubated the Abortion Practical Support Fund, which was established in the budget. The $20 million fund will give grants to groups that help women cover the cost of travel, lodging, child care and other expenses that commonly create barriers to accessing abortion. This measure increases oversight over the fund, requiring annual reports be made to the Legislature, and directs the state Health and Human Services Agency to create a website outlining abortion services available in the state. Legislators also made last-minute amendments to the health omnibus budget bill that allow non-Californians to use money in the fund, a change that advocates rallied hard for in the final days. Newsom, ​U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein and the California Independent System Operator, which operates the state’s power grid were supporters.

After failed attempts in 2020 and 2021, a bill to legalize “natural organic reduction,” or turning bodies into soil as an after-death option was resurrected this year.

These 10 Ca Housing Markets Are Due For A Price Dip

In Virginia, the threshold was 10% of votes cast in the last election. In Montana, the threshold was 10% of eligible voters in the last election. Voters who expression capitaine haddock vote “No” on the question to recall Newsom may still vote for a replacement candidate on the ballot’s second question. All votes for individual candidates on the second question, regardless of the vote on the first question, will be counted. Build a mass public workers program to build housing, schools, hospitals, day-care centers and provide jobs for millions at union scale. It was the fifth of six recall petitions filed against Newsom since 2019.

A person who does not agree to a treatment plan could be compelled into it. Newsom has said he hopes these courts catch people before they fall into the criminal court system. That poll found that leading the Republicans in the race were former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer and Cox, followed by former Northern California Rep. Doug Ose. Republican businessman John Cox of Rancho Santa Fe, whom Newsom beat handily in the 2018 governor’s race, already has tapped into $7 million of his own money for the contest. The Democratic and Republican parties have also poured money into the campaign, with more expected in the coming days.

However, as Democrats turned their full attention to the race, support for keeping Newsom in office grew. On the eve of voting day, support for keeping Newsom in the governor’s mansion had double-digit support in every poll. Had Newsom been recalled, Republican candidate and longtime radio talk show host Larry Elder would have been in line to become the state’s next governor. Elder, the self-described “Sage of South Central” who was attacked while he toured a Venice homeless encampment last week, received 43.6 percent of the vote of those who chose a potential replacement for Newsom. Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom easily survived a recall effort Tuesday night — avoiding the threat of becoming the second chief executive of the Golden State to be removed from office by voters before the completion of his term in under 20 years.

And California’s only gubernatorial recall — in 2003, when voters booted Gov. Gray Davis — drew a whopping 61% turnout for a reason that’s not in play this time around. Low turnout elections also nudge candidates to focus on firing up their core base by leaning hard into their most partisan views, since they don’t need to sway middle-of-the-road voters to win. Business groups, including the Western Growers Association, said the proposal opens the door for unions to request ballots for workers, influence their votes and “force” unionization.

He will also revive the Jobs-Housing Balance Incentive Grants Program, which provides local governments grants to support housing creation. The 2018 housing bond will play an important role in funding this program. While streamlining is critical to meeting this challenge, we must also implement stronger tenant protections and expand rent control to prevent people from being displaced.

They can be held against their will at a psychiatric hospital for up to 72 hours. But once stabilized, a person who agrees to continue taking medication and follow up on services must be released. The challengers conclude that “a person who votes for recall has twice as many votes as a person who votes against recall.” The suit is unlikely to succeed. The relief the challengers are seeking is that the recall be canceled or that Newsom’s name be added to the ballot. The likely voters in this election almost certainly skew more conservative than likely voters in a regular election.
