I'm still undecided who to vote for on Question 2 (will vote on election day, as always). For sure I vote No to retain Newsom. I'm undecided between Paffrath (D) or Faulconer (R). I hardly can bring myself to vote for a GOPer here as I dismiss the entire recall, though Faulconer is the only non-extreme replacement candidate who at least could handle the job. Not that he'd get much done, but he has governing experience.
Elder isn't a serious candidate in my opinion and he previously voiced strong support for the orange buffoon and said he's not to be blamed for 1/6. I'm glad when this clown show is over and Newsom can go back to focus on actual business.
I would go with Paffrath (and No, obviously). Paffrath is the highest non-Elder candidate in the polls.
