mlsoft, sorry I have to stand firm here on my thoughts on the recall. The 1911 law should be repealed but there were "much bigger fish to fry" and until that sleazeball Issa decided to invest millions of his own money to dredge up this loophole in order to try and steal an election, the recall law was not quite "top of mind."
While I am not a huge fan of Davis, his term should run its course and then have a normal election.
You're right about the facts, let's talk about a few:
Under the state's recall procedures, it takes signatures amounting to just 12 percent of the votes cast in the last election for a governor to force a recall — in this case 897,158.
CA has 15 million registered voters.
Now tell me how hard it is to get less than 900,000 votes in a state of 15 million registered voters and why you would need ANY democrats to join the recall effort when you have some guy spending millions of dollars to get the votes.
Now that this sleazeball (and his team) have "gotten the ball rolling" there will be a recall on the ballot for every governor (democrat or republican) until this law is repealed.
While I know many "God Fearing Republicans" would love to see this happen as a continuance of the Florida and Texas shenanigans, I for one hope these tactics don't need to be resorted to on either side.
