Sixty Individuals Say They are Running for California Governor in 2021 — 22 Comments

  1. Wasn’t there something like 165 candidates on the ballot for the Governor Gray Davis Recall election?

  2. Size of 2003 recall ballot ???

    ONE piece of paper – both sides ???

    In a Museum with olde punch card ballots ???

  3. According to the California SOS website, which I included in my name, there are far less than that number of people who have officially filed a Statement of Intention to run.

  4. Do Top Two rules apply to recall elections? Will there be a runoff between someone getting 3% and someone getting 2.5%?

  5. No, pure plurality. If a majority vote yes on part one, the highest vote getter on part 2 becomes the new governor , so theoretically it could be someone with less than 1% of the vote. Realistically it will be someone well into double digits but way short of majority. An even more likely scenario is that the no vote carries on part 1, part 2 becomes moot, and Newsom keeps his job for at least another year.

  6. With more blackouts and wildfires, probably more than ever, set to punish California this summer, part one may well gain in popularity and make part two not moot.

  7. SANE regimes – the Lt Guv becomes Guv if Guv is recalled.

    BUT CA — full of NUTCASE MORON *reformers*.

  8. I like that guy who does Hereskevin on youtube. He is on the ballot. I might send him a donation. Also, its good to have a ballot full of candidates.

  9. If Newsom remains Governor, Californians will show themselves to be idiots collectively.

  10. Most recalls end up with the politicians being retained, which is also what pills show so far in this one, although with months before the election that could change.
