California voters went to the polls Tuesday to determine whether to keep Gov. Gavin Newsom in office. But weeks before, some right-wing activists — as well as leading GOP candidate Larry Elder — began sowing doubts about the integrity of the vote.

During the recall campaign and with the advent of universal mail-in ballots, those myths have grown.

Some of those conspiracies have targeted local officials.

As we enter the last stretch of the #CaliforniaRecall campaign, I ran my model again and Newsom is pulling away. Compared a week ago, my aggregate has moved another 1% towards Newsom. Again, I have a feeling, as this race is getting nationalized, Newsom is gaining ground. Image

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…
