Previously he collaborated on \u003cem>Political Breakdown\u003c/em> and on \u003cem>The Political Mind of Jerry Brown\u003c/em>, an eight-part series about the life and extraordinary political career of the former governor.

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.",

But polling has been mixed on assigning blame to Newsom: A late-April \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/publication/ppic-statewide-survey-californians-and-education-april-2021/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">poll\u003c/a> from the Public Policy Institute of California found that 57% of Californians approve of Newsom’s handling of schools, while a \u003ca href=\"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1m66w3d9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">survey\u003c/a> from the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies in May found just 31% of voters think the governor is doing a good or excellent job handing schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there are two factors around schools that could work in Newsom’s favor: his apparent willingness to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11873813/newsom-proposes-a-return-to-in-person-learning-beginning-next-school-year\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">buck teachers unions and end most distance learning\u003c/a> options for next year, and the state’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11873677/newsom-unveils-revised-budget-proposal-touting-historic-windfall\">enormous budget surplus\u003c/a>, which will \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11873432/newsom-proposes-universal-transitional-kindergarten-new-programs-for-low-income-students\">benefit schools\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Breaking the Seal\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Before 2012, no Wisconsin governor had faced a recall vote. Mair said the Walker campaign benefited from voter hesitance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We did actually have people who had not voted for Scott Walker when he was first elected, who then voted in our favor on the recall,” Mair said. “They just felt that it wasn’t right to cut the guy off midterm. That just wasn’t something that was done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California, of course, has been through the recall ringer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Once you’ve had the experience of doing a recall … you can kind of imagine doing it again — whether it’s ziplining [or] skydiving,” Mair said. “I suspect that this sort of mentality and psychology of voters is going to be a little bit different.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Expectations Matter\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In all likelihood, Mair said, the Newsom recall could be heading toward a similar conclusion to the 2012 challenge to Walker. Both governors \u003ca href=\"https://law.marquette.edu/poll/2012/01/25/walker-and-obama-have-single-digit-leads-in-marquette-law-school-poll/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">entered their recall campaigns\u003c/a> with \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11873005/statewide-poll-finds-good-news-for-newsom-bad-news-for-gop-opponents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">positive approval numbers\u003c/a>, despite facing pitched anger from the opposing political party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wouldn’t be terribly surprised if the percentage that Walker won and stayed up by [53%] looks very similar to what Newsom ends up winning and stayed up by,” Mair said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The difference, argues the veteran GOP consultant, is a matter of expectations. Walker entered the bruising recall fight in a swing state that hadn’t voted for a Republican president in decades, less than two years after he had scraped out a victory to take office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Liz Mair, Republican consultant\"]‘Once you’ve had the experience of doing a recall … you can kind of imagine doing it again — whether it’s ziplining [or] skydiving.’[/pullquote]Newsom cruised into office with 62% of the vote in 2018, in a state where Republicans make up less than a quarter of the electorate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Walker’s margin was not huge,” Mair said. “We were perfectly satisfied with it — it was basically what we anticipated the whole way through based on what we were seeing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it was success in the expectations game, Mair said, that launched Walker’s star. After defeating the recall, Walker won reelection in 2014 and was seen as a leading contender for president in 2016 before his campaign flamed out. Newsom’s potential margin of victory this fall could determine his outlook for reelection in 2022 and beyond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If [Newsom] wins decisively on the recall, I do agree that could help him a lot in 2022,” Mair said. “But if he comes out with like 52% of the vote or something, that could be a real drag going into 2022.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So I just think, you know, the psychology of the campaign teams is also going to be a little bit different,” she added. “And ultimately that does have an effect on how candidates perform.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

"content": "\u003cp>Just months after she was confirmed as California's top election official, Secretary of State Shirley Weber is already facing her first major challenge — overseeing the fall recall election of Gov. Gavin Newsom, who appointed Weber to her post in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her role, Weber will have to educate the public about the unique aspects of the election and set the state's recall rules, all while preserving her impartiality at a time when election officials around the nation are facing partisan attacks over their administration of elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"newsom-recall\" label=\"More recall coverage\"]\"We want to make sure people understand the process, understand what is being asked of them,\" said Weber, in an interview. \"And we want to have a great turnout so that it truly is a mandate from the people one way or the other.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the state's 2003 recall election, 61% of registered voters cast ballots, a level of turnout in line with most gubernatorial elections in the state.

Gov. Eleni Kounalakis until the fall, leaving Weber just a couple of months to spread the word about voting deadlines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the recall ballot will also look different from a typical gubernatorial election: Voters will first choose whether they support removing Newsom from office. They then must select their preferred candidate to replace the governor should the recall question win support from 50% plus one of voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If people feel unsure about what their vote even means, that could also potentially deter some people from participating,\" Romero said. \"And for people who aren't as aware of [the election], that tends to, generally speaking, disproportionately impact chronically underrepresented groups,\" like Black and Latino voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Within minutes of announcing that the recall campaign had \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11870959/newsom-recall-campaign-officially-has-enough-valid-signatures-to-force-election\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">collected enough valid signatures to force an election\u003c/a>, Weber's office tweeted a timeline of the recall's path to the ballot, which includes a period for voters to withdraw their signatures from the recall petition and months for state analysts to determine the election's cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">THREAD: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/TrustedInfo?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TrustedInfo\u003c/a> on potential gubernatorial \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/recall?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#recall\u003c/a> election - status and next steps from the official election source!

In 2003, then-Secretary of State Kevin Shelley set the bar low: 65 voter signatures and a $3,500 filing fee.

I would love to say we would and could, but I guess folks are already lining up.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weber is right about that: The number of people filing papers indicating their intent to run is nearing 60, even with the recall election still months away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weber said she does plan to enforce a new requirement on the gubernatorial hopefuls: that all candidates hoping to appear on the ballot submit five years of tax returns to her office, per a \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB27\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">law signed by Newsom\u003c/a> in 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"shirley-weber\" label=\"Related coverage\"]Parts of the law relating to the tax returns of presidential candidates were gutted by the California Supreme Court, and \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2021/05/gavin-newsom-taxes/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">some legal experts have questioned\u003c/a> whether the requirements on gubernatorial candidates apply to a recall election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're going to follow the law ... and not just say, well, this is a different kind of election so people can just do anything that they want to do,\" Weber added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an appointee and political ally of Newsom, Weber's actions in the recall will come under scrutiny, particularly by the governor's opponents. It remains to be seen if Weber will use her platform to take a position on the recall question itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I haven't really decided yet,\" she said. \"People have asked me what I think about it and I think as a citizen and elected official or not, I have a right to have an opinion about it.

And the table is set for high levels of voter participation this time after California voters turned out in historic numbers during the 2020 election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And like last year, California voters will \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11860552/state-legislature-votes-to-extend-universal-vote-by-mail-through-2021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">again receive a ballot in the mail\u003c/a> by default for the recall election, a practice that has \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11869522/touting-voter-turnout-vote-by-mail-advocates-seek-permanent-change-to-california-elections\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">driven spikes in turnout\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with nearly two decades having passed since the last recall, the challenge for Weber and local election officials will be to convey the \"nuts and bolts\" of the ballot, said Mindy Romero, director of the Center for Inclusive Democracy at the University of Southern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The date of the recall election likely won't be announced by Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis until the fall, leaving Weber just a couple of months to spread the word about voting deadlines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the recall ballot will also look different from a typical gubernatorial election: Voters will first choose whether they support removing Newsom from office. They then must select their preferred candidate to replace the governor should the recall question win support from 50% plus one of voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If people feel unsure about what their vote even means, that could also potentially deter some people from participating,\" Romero said. \"And for people who aren't as aware of [the election], that tends to, generally speaking, disproportionately impact chronically underrepresented groups,\" like Black and Latino voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Within minutes of announcing that the recall campaign had \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11870959/newsom-recall-campaign-officially-has-enough-valid-signatures-to-force-election\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">collected enough valid signatures to force an election\u003c/a>, Weber's office tweeted a timeline of the recall's path to the ballot, which includes a period for voters to withdraw their signatures from the recall petition and months for state analysts to determine the election's cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">THREAD: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/TrustedInfo?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TrustedInfo\u003c/a> on potential gubernatorial \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/recall?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#recall\u003c/a> election - status and next steps from the official election source!

The election was held on Oct. 7, 2003, which, according to an analysis co-written by Stracener, gave potential candidates \u003ca href=\"http://scocablog.com/two-state-officials-will-shape-the-recall-election/\">16 days to qualify\u003c/a> for the ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stracener said, this time, he thinks the lieutenant governor will try to strike a balance when deciding when the election will be held.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re not denying ballot access to any serious candidate, but perhaps there could be a consideration for not overwhelming the voters with a number of non-serious vanity candidates as well,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One person who won’t be a candidate — Kounalakis herself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike her 2003 counterpart, Democratic \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11870960/should-a-democrat-run-in-the-newsom-recall-we-asked-cruz-bustamante\">Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante\u003c/a>, Kounalakis said she will not run. Bustamante ran as sort of an insurance policy to prevent Republicans from winning the office if then-Gov. Gray Davis was recalled — which he was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger easily beat Bustamante.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Bustamante’s critics maintain his entrance in the race may have contributed to Davis’ defeat. Kounalakis said Democrats know better this time around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our insurance policy is that we all recognize that Gov. Newsom has been doing a very good job during an unprecedentedly difficult time,” she said. “Our insurance policy is let’s vote no on the recall and make sure that Gov.

"content": "\u003cp>For all the hoopla that has surrounded the campaign to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom from office, like the entry into the race of a high-profile reality TV star to press conferences with a live bear, one thing has remained virtually unchanged: California voters are disinclined to support removing Newsom from office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a new poll by the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies, the percentage of registered voters saying they’ll vote yes on the recall is 36%, precisely where it was in their previous poll taken in late January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that spells trouble for Newsom’s challengers. Not even a 1,000-pound bear managed to push that needle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Thirty-six percent is a long way from the 50 percent-plus-one that they’d need to remove him from office,” said Mark DiCamillo, Berkeley IGS Poll director. “There hasn’t been any movement up on the yes recall vote. So I guess that is good news” for Newsom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only real change from the January poll conducted by IGS is that the “no” vote ticked up slightly, from 45% to 49%. Fifteen percent in the current poll are undecided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voters remain highly divided by party on the recall question. Among registered Democrats, just 8% support it, while 85% of Republicans do. Independent or no party preference voters are more closely divided, with 33% supporting the recall, 45% opposed and 22% undecided. And while an overwhelming percentage of Republicans support the recall, they are vastly outnumbered by registered Democrats in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11871957\" label=\"Newsom Rebuffs Recall\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only part of the state where the recall is supported by a majority of voters is in the North Coast/Sierras region where 52% support recalling Newsom. The lowest level of support for the recall is in the San Francisco Bay Area (25%) and Los Angeles County (28%).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The results in Orange County reflect the changing politics there. Once a hotbed of Republican conservatism, it has become more favorable to Democrats in recent years. Now in Orange County, voters are split right down the middle with 45% supporting and 45% opposing the recall. Ten percent are undecided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several relatively well-known Republicans are running to replace Newsom, and the poll has good news for exactly none of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked which of the four Republicans they would prefer for governor if Newsom is recalled, former San Diego mayor Kevin Faulconer and businessman John Cox each received 22%, while nearly half of voters said they would not be inclined to support either one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Mark DiCamillo, pollster\"]‘There hasn’t been any movement up on the ‘yes’ recall vote.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Congressman Doug Ose, an ardent supporter of former President Donald Trump, was third with 14% support and 48% saying they would not support him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reality TV celebrity and transgender activist Caitlyn Jenner, whose entry into the race caused the biggest media stir, registered a paltry 6% support with 76% of registered voters saying they’d be disinclined to support her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pollster DiCamillo notes that without a change in voter preferences on the first question on the ballot, it won’t matter how much support Faulconer, Cox and the others are able to muster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The main task ahead for the replacement candidates is to get a ‘yes’ vote on the recall of Newsom or else it’s all pretty moot,” DiCamillo told KQED. “All in all, none of the Republican replacement candidates are attracting broad support at this stage in the election cycle.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If a majority of voters end up supporting the recall, whichever candidate wins the most votes becomes governor, no matter what percentage of the vote they get.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 2003 recall campaign against then-Gov. Gray Davis, more than 100 people ran to replace him, most notably former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who placed first with nearly 49% of the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In that year, former Lt. Gov.
