So I don't know much about state recall laws so this might not be possible... but if it is, why precisely aren't the Democrats using this against Kemp? Or DeSantis? Or Ducey?

Or are Democrats just that spineless and sh!t at politics that they'd unilaterally surrender a political weapon to the GOP?

Recall laws are not the same in all states, either. Florida does not have recall elections for state-level officials.

In Arizona, an elected official can be recalled for any reason. Threshold there is pretty high, though- 25% of total voters in the previous election for the official desired to be recalled need to sign a recall petition.

In Georgia, it seems that the official that a group wishes to recall needs to do something illegal or borderline illegal to even be considered for a recall election for their position.

Thanks very much, the exact info I wanted to know. Seems like it's not an option for the Democrats then (quelle surprise on that front). Looks like Polis and Sisolak are going to get term limited four years early with no response from Democrats other than outrage. Again, quelle surprise.
