SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California Republicans accused Democrats of acting unfairly Monday as state lawmakers passed a bill aimed at moving up Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom's recall date.

“The conclusion is inescapable that Gavin Newsom is cheating in the recall and this Legislature is his willing accomplice," said Republican Assemblyman Kevin Kiley, who is considering running in the contest.

The proposal, now headed to Newsom's desk, would allow the recall to proceed at least 30 days earlier than under existing state law. Democrats hope to take advantage of what they view as favorable conditions for Newsom as the state moves on from the worst days of the pandemic and related restrictions.

Democratic Assemblyman Phil Ting acknowledged the bill will “ensure that this recall election happens as soon as possible" and said that's something the recall's supporters should want.

16. I also believe the GOP bent the recall rules to allow a lot of extra time to gather signatures.

If they had to abide by the stated rules, they didn't have even close to enough signatures in the allotted time to create the recall.

17. Yes they did, and the jackass judge allowed it. Good point bears

13. That's not fair!

So says the party of dirty tricks. Now that is the definition of chutzpah.

14. "We have to recall Newsom to save California" the GOP says...

..."OK", responds the Democratic Party, "Lets vote soon".
"Not so fast" says the GOP, apparently not in that much of a hurry to supposedly save the state.

15. "Acting Unfairly" says the party of gerrymandering, judicial appointment denial, and

of course filibustering every bill that might help the average joe.

Getting this sham recall over with before the brush fire season would be a smart political move if they did it.
