California Recall Question

[angrychair]

Serious question:
Is there anything to stop Republicans from just doing another recall petition again and again, sowing chaos and costing the state money?

[TDale313]

1. Nope. We really need to fix that. n/t

[WarGamer]

2. No. If they can get the signatures and find someone to pay for the effort.

BTW, Just heard yesterday that it'd take another proposition to change the Recall procedure as it's in the Constitution.

The State House cant do it alone.

3. This one was going nowhere until a court gave the Rs an additional

4 months to gather the necessary number of signatures. Idiots.

4. Every future dem gov will have to go through one

[leftieNanner]

5. Maybe not

There is a limited amount of time to collect signatures to get the question on the ballot. Due to the pandemic, a judge extended the time frame for submitting the required number of signatures.

With the Republican party numbers dwindling in the state, it will be more difficult in the future.

There should definitely be an effort made to get rid of that provision, though. The way you recall a Governor is every four years in the regular election.

6. Isn't there a six month moratorium?

If it had been successful, dems could not have tried to recall elder for six months.

Does that still apply?

7. The willingness of voters to sign the petitions again.

And the fact that the new recall vote would occur close to the scheduled date for the actual Election.

8. No, but given the HUGE smackdown they just received in CA, they had better think long and hard

about starting a recall in the future.

9. they had around 175% of the time they normally would have to get signatures

so I am thinking they won't be able to get the signatures again. I do see that the threshold is such that, in theory, one could get that many signatures in say LA county but you also have to get at least 1% of voters in five counties.
