He can win with just +/- 10% of the vote.Guys, I don't think that Larruh has a snowball's chance in hell of winning, not even dog catcher.
CALIF RECALLS ARE CRAZY NUTS!
First the question of recall...
If Newsome doesn't get more than 50% of the total votes, then he is recalled and loses his seat....
He can have 49% of the citizen's vote, and lose his seat....
And the next person on the ballot running to replace him, with the most votes, becomes governor....
even if they only have a handful of votes, as long as they have more votes than the others running to replace Newsome.
I think there are +/-10 candidates running against Newsome, so if Elder beats the other 9 candidates running, he would become governor.....
So if Newsome gets only 49% of the vote, he's OUT.....
But if Elder gets say 12% of the vote, beating the other contestants who got 10%, or 8%, or 7% etc of the vote,
Elder wins the Governorship, with just 12% of the California voter's vote, and Newsome loses with 49% of Californians voting for him.
RECALLS ARE CRAZY, CRAZY, CRAZY
And totally unfair for Californian voters, the way they are set up....it's simply UNDEMOCRATIC!
