California voters will decide on Sept. 14 whether to throw Gov. Gavin Newsom out of office, making him the second governor in state history and just the fourth nationwide to face a recall.
The announcement Thursday from Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis comes after weeks of procedural wrangling by Democratic lawmakers and state officials to speed up the process for choosing a recall election date. Their apparent calculation is that the Democratic governor has better odds of defeating the GOP-backed recall if an election is held sooner rather than later. I believe we have chosen a fair and reasonable date for this election to take place, Kounalakis said in a statement. It has always been my intention to choose an election date that gives election officials and the public ample time to ensure a smooth election with broad participation.
