CA GOV 2021 - 2022 megathread

[Jackson Lee]

Question:

If Newsom wins the recall vote, are they even counting the replacement votes?

To see who would have become the new Governor, or would they skip it?

[Jackson Lee]

I think we’ll see about 13-14 million ballots being returned.

That’s 60-65% of the 22 million RV.

2003 had about 62% participation.

1 million returns so far doesn’t mean much and comparisons to 2020 shouldn’t be taken, because returns will drop off at some point in 1 or 2 weeks compared to 2020.

My guess:

53.6% Remain in office
46.4% Recall him

I’m seeing some Twitter chatter that non citizens and people living out of state are being mailed ballots

That is unacceptable even if rare

I mean come the hell on. How hard is it to control mail flow?

These usps workers have one job that isnt rocket science. I expect them to do it mistake free

That might be the result of one or several misunderstandings by people with little political knowledge:

# ballots can for example be mailed to registered voters who only recently became US citizens, but whom neighbors still perceive to be non-citizens

# ballots can be mailed to legal CA residents/citizens, who work a job in another state or have a vacation home in another state. Or out-of-state college students come to mind as well.
