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. Two of those challenges have been in California — the last in 2003, when actor Arnold Schwarzenegger successfully ousted then-Gov. Gray Davis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while three-quarters of the voters surveyed in the IGS poll said they support retaining the recall provision, \u003ca href=\"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6kt7w3ts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">most said they were open to various changes\u003c/a> that would make it harder to remove state officials from office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the legislators coming out of this may choose to do what is most advantageous to perhaps the majority party.

The winning side gets to decide the next move,” DiCamillo, the director of IGS, said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But I think for voters, they do want to see some reform.

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.

Last year, for instance, a county commission race was decided by just three votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both candidates running accepted the results after a hand recount, but Shew said he worries next time they might not be so lucky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even in [2016 and 2018], candidates were going to ‘there was fraud’ rather than it was a bad campaign,” Shew said.

Those are expected to slightly favor Democrats. Then come results from in-person polling places on Election Day, which is when higher percentages of Republicans typically vote. Finally, late-arriving mail ballots are counted and reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ballots will be counted up to seven days after the election as long as they are postmarked by Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local elections officials are seeing increased activity from a group of election observers aligned with Republicans, said Donna Johnston, Sutter County registrar of voters and president of the California Association of Clerks and Election Officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson said election officials welcome observers and the chance to explain procedures that ensure election security and integrity. The increase in distrust, though, is “heartbreaking to us,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Election officials take it personally when somebody is just making unfounded accusations about what we do,” Johnston said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The Associated Press’s Adam Beam, Christina A.

A recent \u003ca href=\"https://news.yahoo.com/poll-two-thirds-of-republicans-still-think-the-2020-election-was-rigged-165934695.html\">Yahoo News/YouGov poll\u003c/a>, for instance, found that 66% of GOP voters said last year’s election was stolen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That conspiracy theory is taking a toll on \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/08/17/1027747378/death-threats-and-conspiracy-theories-why-2020-wont-end-for-election-officials\">voting officials, who now have to administer the country’s elections while also being subjected to death threats\u003c/a> and intense pressure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One \u003ca href=\"https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/local-election-officials-survey\">recent survey\u003c/a> found that a third of election administrators nationwide felt unsafe while doing their jobs during the last election cycle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kelley said members of his staff have been followed and videotaped while picking up ballots from drop boxes in recent weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve been doing this almost 18 years, and I would say the end of ’19 leading into ’20 and then all the way up to today has been the most stressful period of my career,” Kelley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Up until now, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/02/02/rick-scotts-zombie-claim-about-voter-fraud-2018/\">fraud claims\u003c/a> have been mostly isolated to national campaigns and the occasional statewide race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Jamie Shew, who oversees elections in Douglas County, Kansas, said he worries the tactic could trickle down to local races, where margins are often extremely thin. Last year, for instance, a county commission race was decided by just three votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both candidates running accepted the results after a hand recount, but Shew said he worries next time they might not be so lucky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even in [2016 and 2018], candidates were going to ‘there was fraud’ rather than it was a bad campaign,” Shew said. But “2020 took it to a whole new level. And I don’t think that’s going to go away.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not all Republicans are embracing the claims. John Cox, a business executive running to replace Newsom, said voter fraud concerns are “another distraction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Frankly, all this talk about the election not being valid is a cul de sac because it’s going to result in some people deciding not to vote,” Cox said as he campaigned Monday outside the Capitol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Secretary of State Shirley Weber — the state’s chief elections official — said concerns about election security are “inaccurate.” California, she said, has “the strictest voting system testing, procedures for use and security requirements in the nation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All votes, whether in person, by mail or drop box, will be cast on paper ballots that can be hand-counted afterward if there are questions about the tally in any county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of the challenge for election officials is the vote counting and vote reporting process, which can lead to changes in results that appear to swing back and forth before final tallies are released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, where election officials can begin processing mailed ballots ahead of Election Day, the first batch of results often is from mail-in ballots. Those are expected to slightly favor Democrats. Then come results from in-person polling places on Election Day, which is when higher percentages of Republicans typically vote. Finally, late-arriving mail ballots are counted and reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ballots will be counted up to seven days after the election as long as they are postmarked by Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local elections officials are seeing increased activity from a group of election observers aligned with Republicans, said Donna Johnston, Sutter County registrar of voters and president of the California Association of Clerks and Election Officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson said election officials welcome observers and the chance to explain procedures that ensure election security and integrity. The increase in distrust, though, is “heartbreaking to us,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Election officials take it personally when somebody is just making unfounded accusations about what we do,” Johnston said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The Associated Press’s Adam Beam, Christina A.
