His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom beat back a recall election effort Tuesday, ending a months-long campaign with a resounding victory that served to vindicate his leadership of the state through the COVID-19 pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than an hour after polls closed, a tally of mostly early returns showed voters had decisively rejected the recall effort — by an almost 2-1 margin — according to results from the California Secretary of State’s Office, prompting the Associated Press to \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/california-recall-results-gavin-newsom-a590782877be099d44f1766b2d138394\">call the race\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“‘No’ is not the only thing that was expressed tonight. I want to focus on what we said yes to as a state. We said yes to science, we said yes to vaccines, we said yes to ending this pandemic,” Newsom told reporters in Sacramento minutes after the results were announced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m humbled and grateful to the millions and millions of Californians that exercise their fundamental right to vote and express themselves so overwhelmingly by rejecting the division, by rejecting the cynicism, by rejecting so much of the negativity that’s defined our politics in this country over the course of so many years,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuesday’s vote brings to a close a campaign that in politics began a lifetime ago — in the early weeks of 2020.[aside postID=\"news_11888358\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/RS51419_010_Oakland_ItzelDiazandFamily_09092021-qut-1020x680.jpg\"]The petition to remove Newsom from office, launched by retired Yolo County sheriff’s deputy Orrin Heatlie, was one of six that had been circulated by the governor’s opponents since he took office in January 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Getting the vote to the ballot took an \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/entertainment-health-elections-california-coronavirus-pandemic-c4cbdfdfa832495d19b4c1639f1cfb90\">unlikely synchronization of political fortune and Newsom’s own missteps\u003c/a>. In early November, a Sacramento judge gave the recall campaign an additional four months to collect signatures, citing the difficulties in distributing petitions during the state’s coronavirus stay-at-home order. Later that same day, Newsom dined at the upscale French Laundry restaurant in Napa Valley, against his own guidance to avoid gatherings as the spread of COVID-19 picked up pace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dinner became the enduring symbol of the recall campaign and fodder for the most convincing attack against the governor: that he failed to practice what he preached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/GavinNewsom/status/1437994196934135814\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While that sentiment did not ultimately prove strong enough to convince a majority of voters to support his ouster, polls show it continues to trail him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies (IGS) survey conducted \u003ca href=\"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1g8696rv\">this month\u003c/a>, 56% of likely voters agreed with the following statement: “Through his own actions, Newsom has demonstrated that the strict policies and behaviors that he wants others to follow during the pandemic don’t apply to him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voter discontent snowballed in early December when Newsom instituted \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11849487/newsom-to-impose-sweeping-new-stay-at-home-order-as-covid-19-rates-soar\">a second round of sweeping closures\u003c/a> of businesses and activities, even shuttering outdoor dining, as COVID infection rates soared statewide. And midway into the academic year, as most California kids were still attending classes virtually, many faulted the governor for not doing more to open schools — and lambasting him for \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/states/california/story/2020/10/30/newsom-sends-his-children-back-to-school-classrooms-in-california-1332811\">sending his own four children\u003c/a> back to private school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those mounting frustrations spurred his detractors into action. Instead of waiting for the 2022 gubernatorial election, thousands of voters signed petitions to put the governor’s fate on the ballot this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A few months ago, I mean, there was a great opening where Republicans really could have taken advantage of the situation in California and introduced a candidate that could have been able to triangulate with the electorate,” Luis Alvarado, a Republican consultant, told KQED. “But once again, I think as Republicans, we sometimes just don’t understand the map or we just truly believe that miracles can happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11888658\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/Image-from-iOS-scaled-e1631686696478.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11888658 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/Image-from-iOS-scaled-e1631686696478.jpg\" alt=\"A group of masked Newsom supporters cheer and throw their hands in the air.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1278\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Recall opponents celebrate Tuesday night at Manny’s in San Francisco, after the race was called in Newsom’s favor. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In the months since the recall campaign \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11870959/newsom-recall-campaign-officially-has-enough-valid-signatures-to-force-election\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reached its milestone for \u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11870959/newsom-recall-campaign-officially-has-enough-valid-signatures-to-force-election\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">signatures\u003c/a> — \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/upcoming-elections/2021-ca-gov-recall/newsom-recall-faqs\">12% of total votes cast\u003c/a> in the 2018 gubernatorial election — the greatest danger to Newsom has been Democratic voter apathy, not a tidal wave of voter discontent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have to really look back and say that late July period when Republicans were engaged and really not so much the other voters was an aberration,” IGS Director Mark DiCamillo said. As Democratic and independent voters became more engaged over the last month, he noted, the race reflected “that big Democratic advantage that you usually see in statewide elections.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Polling of the entire electorate on the recall question has remained remarkably steady, and notably similar to the results of the 2018 governor’s race. The last IGS preelection survey put support for the recall at 38% of likely voters — the same percentage of votes received by Republican John Cox (a current recall candidate) three years ago when he ran against Newsom and was handily defeated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s pretty much playing out as we expected,” said DiCamillo, who anticipated Newsom’s margin would narrow slightly — to about a 25-point advantage — as more day-of votes, in support of the recall, were tallied. “Still, it’s a big win for Gavin Newsom.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But over the summer, as a total of 46 candidates threw their hats into the ring, pollsters predicted a smaller and more conservative electorate for the recall election — a dynamic that could pose a threat to Newsom, with the thinking that many Democrats would skip the off-year vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fears of a low-turnout election were exacerbated by the decision of Democratic state lawmakers to speed up the recall process. In June, as COVID rates plummeted and vaccines became widely available, they approved a change in state election law that allowed the vote to be moved up, to mid-September, in the hopes of capturing the post-pandemic goodwill of voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, the start of voting coincided with the rise of the coronavirus delta variant in the state, largely affecting the unvaccinated. And by early August, \u003ca href=\"https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/california-recall-polls/\">polls\u003c/a> suggested Newsom faced the real risk of being removed from office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/chalexhall/status/1437994898251157504\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the resurgence of the virus also allowed Newsom to draw his clearest contrast between himself and the candidates hoping to replace him, most notably conservative radio talk show host Larry Elder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In late July, Newsom announced vaccine mandates for \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11882436/california-requiring-proof-of-vaccine-or-weekly-testing-for-health-workers-and-state-employees\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">California state employees, health care workers\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11884606/newsom-mandates-covid-vaccines-or-regular-tests-for-all-california-teachers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">school staff\u003c/a>, along with a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11880805/california-to-require-face-masks-at-schools-this-fall\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mask requirement for school children\u003c/a> — orders that Elder promised to revoke on Day One if elected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This [recall] is something that is bigger than any of this election stuff, which is that we are in a pandemic,” state Sen. Steve Glazer, D-Orinda, told KQED Tuesday night, referring to the last 18 months as “the most traumatic time in American history.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Gavin’s had his stumbles in this space, but he also has led in this space. And the consequences go beyond partisanship,” Glazer said. “It’s bigger than the recall. It’s trust in government, it’s trust in science.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elder’s dominance of the replacement candidate field also presented Newsom’s campaign with the foil it was desperately searching for — after previous attempts to try to link the recall to Republican voter suppression efforts or the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol attack fell flat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Elder’s emergence as the clear favorite for replacing Newsom — on the second question on the ballot — allowed the governor to turn the race from a referendum to a choice: Newsom spent the final days of the campaign slamming Elder’s conservative positions on climate policy, abortion and the minimum wage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[Republicans] don’t understand that when you have a candidate that is truly aligned with Trumpism … that doesn’t actually resonate with Californians,” Alvarado, the GOP consultant, said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although Elder remained the overwhelming favorite among voters who filled in the second question — garnering the support of well over 40% of those voters — he received nowhere near the number of votes needed to oust Newsom. Even before the votes had been counted, he and his supporters \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11888445/officials-fear-a-new-normal-as-republicans-make-baseless-california-fraud-claims\">blamed the outcome \u003c/a>on election\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11888445/officials-fear-a-new-normal-as-republicans-make-baseless-california-fraud-claims\"> fraud\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"newsom-recall\" label=\"More Recall Election Coverage\"]“I think the rhetoric we heard about, that Mr. Elder was espousing, is antiquated and racist and classist and sexist,” said Holly Mitchell, a Democratic Los Angeles County supervisor. “And that white supremacist ideology lost tonight. And I couldn’t be more proud of my fellow Californians.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mitchell said the vast number of challenges California faces, from creating more affordable housing to addressing environmental and health crises, is what “for me, made this recall effort and the money wasted so deeply offensive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have real work to do,” she said, calling the contest an unnecessary distraction. “But we’re back on track and we’ll all be back to work first thing in the morning, representing the needs of California residents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuesday’s vote could end up being the last gubernatorial recall held under the current rules, which were enacted by voters and added to the state constitution in 1911, \u003ca href=\"https://theconversation.com/california-recall-theres-a-method-to-what-looks-like-madness-167622\">an effort\u003c/a> by Progressives to curb rampant political corruption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leading state Democratic officials, \u003ca href=\"https://www.capradio.org/articles/2021/07/20/some-serious-problems-with-california-recall-laws-secretary-of-state-says/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">including Secretary of State Shirley Weber\u003c/a>, have already voiced support for reexamining the process. \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/09/opinion/california-recall-newsom.html\">Advocates for reform\u003c/a> note that other states with recall provisions have much higher thresholds for reaching the ballot, such as requiring a greater percentage of signatures or sanctioning it only if an official is convicted of an act of malfeasance or a serious crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuesday’s vote is only the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/09/13/1036533187/californias-newsom-is-only-the-4th-governor-to-face-a-recall-vote\">fourth gubernatorial recall election\u003c/a> in U.S. history.

I want to focus on what we said yes to as a state. We said yes to science, we said yes to vaccines, we said yes to ending this pandemic,” Newsom told reporters in Sacramento minutes after the results were announced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m humbled and grateful to the millions and millions of Californians that exercise their fundamental right to vote and express themselves so overwhelmingly by rejecting the division, by rejecting the cynicism, by rejecting so much of the negativity that’s defined our politics in this country over the course of so many years,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuesday’s vote brings to a close a campaign that in politics began a lifetime ago — in the early weeks of 2020.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And midway into the academic year, as most California kids were still attending classes virtually, many faulted the governor for not doing more to open schools — and lambasting him for \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/states/california/story/2020/10/30/newsom-sends-his-children-back-to-school-classrooms-in-california-1332811\">sending his own four children\u003c/a> back to private school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those mounting frustrations spurred his detractors into action. Instead of waiting for the 2022 gubernatorial election, thousands of voters signed petitions to put the governor’s fate on the ballot this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A few months ago, I mean, there was a great opening where Republicans really could have taken advantage of the situation in California and introduced a candidate that could have been able to triangulate with the electorate,” Luis Alvarado, a Republican consultant, told KQED. “But once again, I think as Republicans, we sometimes just don’t understand the map or we just truly believe that miracles can happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11888658\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/Image-from-iOS-scaled-e1631686696478.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11888658 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/Image-from-iOS-scaled-e1631686696478.jpg\" alt=\"A group of masked Newsom supporters cheer and throw their hands in the air.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1278\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Recall opponents celebrate Tuesday night at Manny’s in San Francisco, after the race was called in Newsom’s favor. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In the months since the recall campaign \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11870959/newsom-recall-campaign-officially-has-enough-valid-signatures-to-force-election\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reached its milestone for \u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11870959/newsom-recall-campaign-officially-has-enough-valid-signatures-to-force-election\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">signatures\u003c/a> — \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/upcoming-elections/2021-ca-gov-recall/newsom-recall-faqs\">12% of total votes cast\u003c/a> in the 2018 gubernatorial election — the greatest danger to Newsom has been Democratic voter apathy, not a tidal wave of voter discontent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have to really look back and say that late July period when Republicans were engaged and really not so much the other voters was an aberration,” IGS Director Mark DiCamillo said. As Democratic and independent voters became more engaged over the last month, he noted, the race reflected “that big Democratic advantage that you usually see in statewide elections.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Polling of the entire electorate on the recall question has remained remarkably steady, and notably similar to the results of the 2018 governor’s race. The last IGS preelection survey put support for the recall at 38% of likely voters — the same percentage of votes received by Republican John Cox (a current recall candidate) three years ago when he ran against Newsom and was handily defeated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s pretty much playing out as we expected,” said DiCamillo, who anticipated Newsom’s margin would narrow slightly — to about a 25-point advantage — as more day-of votes, in support of the recall, were tallied. “Still, it’s a big win for Gavin Newsom.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But over the summer, as a total of 46 candidates threw their hats into the ring, pollsters predicted a smaller and more conservative electorate for the recall election — a dynamic that could pose a threat to Newsom, with the thinking that many Democrats would skip the off-year vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fears of a low-turnout election were exacerbated by the decision of Democratic state lawmakers to speed up the recall process. In June, as COVID rates plummeted and vaccines became widely available, they approved a change in state election law that allowed the vote to be moved up, to mid-September, in the hopes of capturing the post-pandemic goodwill of voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, the start of voting coincided with the rise of the coronavirus delta variant in the state, largely affecting the unvaccinated. And by early August, \u003ca href=\"https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/california-recall-polls/\">polls\u003c/a> suggested Newsom faced the real risk of being removed from office.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Steve Glazer, D-Orinda, told KQED Tuesday night, referring to the last 18 months as “the most traumatic time in American history.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Gavin’s had his stumbles in this space, but he also has led in this space. And the consequences go beyond partisanship,” Glazer said. “It’s bigger than the recall. It’s trust in government, it’s trust in science.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elder’s dominance of the replacement candidate field also presented Newsom’s campaign with the foil it was desperately searching for — after previous attempts to try to link the recall to Republican voter suppression efforts or the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol attack fell flat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Elder’s emergence as the clear favorite for replacing Newsom — on the second question on the ballot — allowed the governor to turn the race from a referendum to a choice: Newsom spent the final days of the campaign slamming Elder’s conservative positions on climate policy, abortion and the minimum wage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[Republicans] don’t understand that when you have a candidate that is truly aligned with Trumpism … that doesn’t actually resonate with Californians,” Alvarado, the GOP consultant, said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although Elder remained the overwhelming favorite among voters who filled in the second question — garnering the support of well over 40% of those voters — he received nowhere near the number of votes needed to oust Newsom.

Elder has said he would appoint a Republican to her seat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s why Democrat Christine Pelosi said that if Newsom is recalled, California lawmakers should immediately call a special session and change the rules for how political vacancies are filled in the Senate and state constitutional offices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right now, there are few limits on whom the governor can appoint to those positions. Pelosi, the daughter of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and an officer with the California Democratic Party, said the rules could be changed to require replacement by someone from the same party as the outgoing official.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Legislature can do that,” she said. “And in my view they should.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every governor since 1960 has faced an attempted recall, but most efforts fell short of the signatures needed to qualify for the ballot. Would liberal activists try to recall a Republican winner of this recall?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s possible. But it seems unlikely, given the time involved in mounting a recall and the regularly scheduled gubernatorial election next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Timing wise, it doesn’t make sense,” Pelosi said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>And no matter what …\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Expect California lawmakers to begin working on possible changes to the recall process.
