This might be a troll, but venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya has thrown his hat into the ring if Newsom is recalled

Sounds like the Vermin Supreme of this election.

Also heard Larry Elder being floated around as a potential candidate, and I heard he's expressed interest in it?

This video makes me wanna move to California just to recall Newsom.

But then again I'd rather stay in Texas and Newsom's gonna survive anyways, so no point in moving there for nothing.

A person in a gorilla mask threw an egg aiming for Larry.

Also what are the odds of the race being called for Newsom at poll closing? What would it take for that to happen?

[Real Texan Politics]

In case no one's mentioned it already, polls close at 8pm PST (aka 9pm MST, 10pm CST, and 11pm EST).

I doubt people in the EST will know the winner by midnight, but what time in PST should we expect a call to be made?

Final predictions, bookmark this if I'm wrong:

Newsom survives by mid teens.

Recall wins Orange by high single digits. Fresno will vote to the right of Orange.

Elder wins almost every county in the replacement map, exceptions being Faulconer likely winning San Diego, Paffrath winning the Bay Area, and Killey possibly winning Sacramento (latter prediction may be a stretch but could happen).

Jenner (at best) wins one or two precincts in Hollywood (if she's to win any at all), though she will likely not even finish top 5 after Elder seemed to unite the republicans around him.

Quoted for posterity and to note that I don’t think Kiley will win any counties.

Yup, though I was right Elder would win almost every county.

He's up in every county except San Francisco.
