18. Isn't the OP wrong? There are two entries on the ballot.

Number one is to say "NO" to the recall. If you check that box you're done. Put the ballot in the envelope and mail it back.

If you go to the second item and pick a name, you're playing into the recall republicans game. And you just might invalidate your own ballot since you check both reponses.

Check only the first item, the "No" on recall to keep Newson.

The Second Vote Doesn't Matter SoCalDavidS Aug 2021 #1

Not necessarily. Kevin Paffrath a Democrat can do it if the recall passes JohnSJ Aug 2021 #8

And What Is Kevin Polling At? SoCalDavidS Aug 2021 #11

If you look at the link I supplied above he has 27% of the vote, leading Elder by 4 points JohnSJ Aug 2021 #22

The item is "No" on the recall of Newsom. Understand? brush Aug 2021 #34

Sorry. I couldn't resist. You are of course right. brush Aug 2021 #55

I believe you can vote No on Newsom's recall Zorro Aug 2021 #33

Why would you do that? You want him to stay but will give a vote... brush Aug 2021 #36

Nothing wrong with voting on the second part Zorro Aug 2021 #41

Odd way of looking at it. Voting "NO" is franchising yourself. brush Aug 2021 #43

That is incorrect. Mr.Bill Aug 2021 #42

No she doesn't, and the 2022 election will set things right. She isn't going to go away anymore JohnSJ Aug 2021 #5

Agreed. I've sent a couple nicely worded email to her staff but at this point have lost patience Merlot Aug 2021 #6

If Newsom was recalled, Mr.Bill Aug 2021 #7

Yup. We have a super majority, and can do just what Kentucky did. Newsom is NOT going to JohnSJ Aug 2021 #9

So why haven't they done anything to prevent such recalls? intrepidity Aug 2021 #10

It would require changing the state constitution. Mr.Bill Aug 2021 #13

I think I get it now.... chowder66 Aug 2021 #44

If you plan to vote for a candidate if the recall passes, which I don't think it will, JohnSJ Aug 2021 #4

Do you vote for a replacement even if you vote "No"? intrepidity Aug 2021 #12

Yes, you can. n/t Mr.Bill Aug 2021 #14

No. Just mail it in. It's a tricky ballot. Don't give vote to someone... brush Aug 2021 #39

I didn't say you should, Mr.Bill Aug 2021 #40

Sure. It won't count if the recall fails, and that is what we want, but if it doesn't fail I think JohnSJ Aug 2021 #16

I hope we Dems don't miscalculate intrepidity Aug 2021 #17

I don't think so. Newsom is as liberal as they come, so anyone using that logic doesn't know JohnSJ Aug 2021 #20

No. If you vote "NO", you're done. JUST MAIL IT IN. brush Aug 2021 #37

Would you please stop spreading disinformation The Mouth Aug 2021 #46

Ok. But IMO it's best to not give any vote to another candidate if... brush Aug 2021 #51

Well, anyone who wouldn't vote 'NO' shouldn't even *be* on this website The Mouth Aug 2021 #52

Actually I did retract. I said you were right about the second item, which I found out later. brush Aug 2021 #54

Can you suggest anyone else? quaint Aug 2021 #28

Just vote no on item 1 and don't worry about a secondary candidate JohnSJ Aug 2021 #30

Both my husband and I will vote NO. CaliforniaPeggy Aug 2021 #15

Who might run? That is 2022, and if the recall is successful I think it is prudent to choose JohnSJ Aug 2021 #19

If you check "NO" you're done. Do not select someone else... brush Aug 2021 #21

Right, louslobbs Aug 2021 #25

I suggest just voting NO. If you vote on the second part... brush Aug 2021 #38

Just vote no. chowder66 Aug 2021 #49

YOU DO NOT PICK A REPLACEMENT if you vote "no." kysrsoze Aug 2021 #23

You can though. That's why it's confusing everyone but it's a moot point to choose anyone else. nt chowder66 Aug 2021 #50
