Even if this almost certainly won't succeed, 1.5 million is really quite a shockingly small figure considering the losing candidate got nearly 5 million votes in the last election. These recalls are shockingly open to abuse.
Agreed. Even if this is going nowhere, I'm skeptical of recalls in general. Elections, especially in a presidential system, can't just be repeated over and over again just because one side is unhappy with the result. There needs to be some time for governing rather than campaigning. And if a governor or any other elected official has done serious wrongdoings/been corrupt there is always the possibility of impeachment.
