Decision in Lawsuit Over Party Label for Gavin Newsom Expected Monday, July 12

On Friday, July 9, a Superior Court held arguments in Newsom v Weber, 34-2021-8003666. The issue is whether California Governor Gavin Newsom should have his party label on the September 14 recall ballot. He missed a deadline to request that his party label be next to his name. The Secretary of State did not oppose him in court, but attorneys for the recall proponents, and for candidate Caitlyn Jenner, intervened and argued that the deadline should not be set aside.

The judge is James Arguelles, the same attorney who granted more time during the covid crisis of 2020 for the initiative proponents to complete their recall petition.

  1. The other issue in candidate suppression by SOS Weber when she has required 7000 signatures in lieu under CA Elections Code Section 8106. Yet CA Elections Code Section 8106.5 reduces that number to 765 signatures and the SOS will not comply with that section of the
    election code.
