Soon after the #CaliforniaRecallElection polls close at 8pm PT, we'll get early results here: latimes.com/projects/newso…

@palewire, our @datagraphics editor and our very own #chartthrob is here to teach you what to look for when returns roll in twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
@palewire @datagraphics If you mailed in your ballot weeks ago, it's probably already been processed and will be included in the first results dump which we expect sometime after 8 pm.

@palewire explains twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
@palewire @datagraphics Democrats tend to vote by mail, so the first #CaliforniaRecallElection results will likely tilt in favor of Gavin Newsom.

Republicans are more likely to vote in person, so it may take longer for their influence to be revealed. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

In the run up to today's #CaliforniaRecallElection columnist @Erika_D_Smith has had a lot to say about the leading GOP candidate Larry Elder.

Watch her talk with @pattmlatimes about Elder and what his rise means for California politics

twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
@Erika_D_Smith @pattmlatimes Larry Elder says he's a candidate for all voters, but he's not, says @Erika_D_Smith

"So many of his policies are further right than so many others in that field, further right in some cases than even Donald Trump."

@Erika_D_Smith @pattmlatimes Here's everything you need to know about Larry Elder who has had a long career as a radio talk show host prior to this #CaliforniaRecallElection

I'm going to start here with this political disinfo pattern. It's important to understand that this is exactly how stop the steal started as a hashtag in the 2016 election and then landing at #J6
let me finish my thoughts on this before I continue my data mining.

“there might very well be shenanigans, as there were in the 2020 election.” His campaign website has a link to a “Stop CA Fraud” website.

we all know there was no fraud. yet this is what Elder said
Here's the part that no one seems to get. If you pre-planning a loss by saying your opponent stole it. There are several things happening. 1. You are a sore loser 2. You clearly know you can't win and aren't telling your supporters tho your internal polling tells you differently.

Polls are open for the #CaliforniaRecallElection, as voters decide whether Gov. Newsom should be removed from office and, if so, who should replace him. latimes.com/california/sto…
The race has captured the attention of a deeply divided nation and, whatever the outcome, seems set to be cited as evidence of which direction the larger political winds are blowing. latimes.com/california/sto…
For Republicans, a successful recall would not only deal Newsom a defeat, but shatter the Democratic hegemony in Sacramento.

Democrats have decried the effort as an underhanded power grab and warned of potentially dire consequences should it succeed. latimes.com/politics/story…

The #CaliforniaRecallElection facing Gov. Newsom comes to an end Tuesday, but its effect on California politics could linger.

And for perfectly good reasons. latimes.com/california/sto…
Launched by conservative critics and fueled by anger over COVID-19 restrictions, the campaign has shined a light on the rules governing recall efforts, with academics and activists saying improvements are long overdue.

Now polling indicates voters might be ready for changes too.
New results released from the UC Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies' poll, co-sponsored by @latimes, show 75% of registered voters want to keep their right to remove a statewide official through a recall election. latimes.com/california/sto…

Thread: Who is funding the #CARecall effort to get rid of Gavin Newsom? Luxury real estate developers, radical Christian supremacists, and hedge fund fat cats.

Please join me down the rabbit hole and share, if you wouldn't mind.
The biggest donor to the #CaliforniaRecallElection effort against Newsom is Geoff Palmer. He's a luxury condo developer who hates Newsom's plans to make more affordable housing in CA.

Palmer has donated $1.2 million ladowntownnews.com/news/geoff-pal…
Next on the list is John Kruger. He's a big donor to right-wing Christian schools focused on getting them government cash.

He originally tried to hide the $500,000 he donated to the recall effort behind a corporation named after a Bible verse, Proverbs 3:9. ...

NEW FROM ⁦@CBSNewsPoll⁩ of #California voters: They’d marginally prefer to keep ⁦@GavinNewsom⁩ in office at the moment, but it looks like that will heavily depend on whether Democrats in his party get more motivated about it. cbsnews.com/news/californi…

The #CaliforniaRecallElection starts in less than TWO WEEKS, on Monday, August 16. What is it, and why should you vote in it?

Let's go through it and hopefully answer your questions. 🧵 1/13 Governor Newsom strides tow...
Recall is a process to remove someone from elected office before their next regular election. It's meant for when one's very presence in office is an emergency that must be ended ASAP.

Republicans are trying to abuse recall to remove Gov. Newsom just because he's a Democrat. 2/
You may have heard for months now about signature-gathering for “the recall”. Five previous petitions didn't get enough signatures to trigger a recall election.

But the sixth attempt did (barely), so the recall election is happening. And it's happening THIS MONTH. 3/
