California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) changed the timing of his own recall election in an attempt to suppress votes against him.
Earlier this year recall organizers gathered over the needed 1.5 million signatures to force a recall election this year.
But the Democrats in the California swamp are up to their old tricks.
The Democrat-led California legislature voted on party line on Monday to move the recall election up which would benefit Newsom — and Newsom quickly signed the measure.
Republicans argued that Newsom is changing the rules to take advantage of his higher approval rating coming out of the Covid lockdown.
The Sacramento Bee reported:
California lawmakers on Monday passed a bill that will change portions of the state elections code in an effort to benefit Gov. Gavin Newsom in the all-but-certain recall election to be held later this year.
Newsom quickly signed the measure, SB 152, which lets state officials bypass one of the steps of certifying the recall election.
Under the previous law, the Department of Finance was to issue a cost estimate, after which the Joint Legislative Budget Committee had 30 days to review and comment on the costs. Both the review by finance and the review by lawmakers were steps put into place less than four years ago by Democratic lawmakers.
The changes could speed up the timeline for a Newsom recall. Once the Secretary of State’s office certifies the recall, Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis is required to schedule the election in no less than 60 days and no more than 80 days. Some Democrats have suggested an earlier recall date will benefit the governor, who is currently riding a wave of approval as California reopens and the state coffers are overflowing with an $80 billion surplus.
California Republican state lawmaker Kevin Kiley blasted Newsom for changing the rules of his own recall election.
It's official. Gavin Newsom has changed the timing of his own Recall in an attempt to suppress votes against him. All decent Californians must unite to remove the most corrupt governor in our history.

This is the second time in California’s history that a campaign has successfully triggered a recall election to oust a governor — out of 55 attempts!
Former California Governor Gray Davis (D) was recalled in 2003 over the state’s energy crisis, rolling blackouts and skyrocketing car registration fees.

Come on, people of California, get with the game. You have to stop this power grab by your doomed mayor. Stand up, that is the people left in the state. This is your life now and for the future. We have to stop these corrupt politicians.
I agree with you. I believe that many California voters are taking a stand, but it appears they must do more and do it immediately. The communists in our government positions must be dealt with and stopped now! There is no more time to not do something to preserve freedom.
You are right, if we wait till 2022 there will be no America left.
I agree 100%. 2022 is far enough away and the demoncrats are evil enough (not all but those who are of the far left) to ensure that anyway way they can to stop the return to normalcy and right governance from happening. At this point, the election process has been so tainted that no one will truly trust it anymore. Something needs to be done now, before CCP and Russia over runs us and takes everything away from us.
Another dirty trick by democrats governor! Guess it going to take an angry or crazy leftist to solve the problem!
What?! Democrats changing the rules just before an election to favor them?! Seems like deja-vu somehow. Where was it saw this before? Oh yeah,nationwide 2020. Another steal?
If a criminal gets away with a crime once they always come back. And they will continue to do so until they are brought to justice. The Democrats bought and paid for the FBI – DOJ and way too many so called “judges” so they really have nothing to fear. Defund the police and take away your guns – who’s going to stop them?
The people! Not everyone in America is willing to just stand by and watch this fundamental transformation into a socialist marxist nation which is exactly what they are doing. Their intent, no matter what they say, is to destroy our Constitutional Representative Republic and free enterprise economic system. Make no mistake about it!
You are absolutely correct. They have been trying to destroy this nation for years and now they seem to be on the verge of accomplishing just that. Something needs to be done and fast, as 2022 may not be that far away, but it gives them enough time to destroy everything that we stand for as a Country.
This is just the Democrat Communist Party doing what they do best!! CHEAT, LIE, STEAL!
WAKE UP CALIFORNIA!! HE IS VERY CLOSE TO OWNING YOU AND EVERYTHING YOU HAVE!!
This party is the Chinese Communist Party deceptively posing as the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party is long gone and if these communists have anything to say about, won’t be returning. The voters who still believe it’s their party of old, wake up already and see reality.
It’s rather simple…if you don’t like the rules, you change them in your favor. Rock smashes paper. Paper wraps scissors…
CROOKED TO THE VERY END…
I hope they do recall that sleez ball Newsom.
Get the plunger this turd isn’t going down.
Newsom is a certified POS! California needs to get their ducks in a row and dump this pig before he can damage the state even more than he already has!
They need to get rid of those corrupt sows Pelosi & Waters too!
All the reasons,& more that Davis was ousted apply to Newsom!
He is not a governor, he is a thug!
HE NEEDS TO GO!!!!!!
They just keep proving how corrupt they are. When are the sheepeople going to open their eyes and take decisive action against ALL the people that support the corruptness?
You people need to stand up to that TYRANT and REMOVE him NOW!!!
Keep using those dominion. Machines,… hey why not recall waters and piglosi too! I mean, why waste the election?
Did anyone expect this recall to be run by the rules? Democrats make up the rules as things progress. After all, we are talking about recalling the nephew of Nasty Pelosi.
Remember the rallying cry of the Democrats, “When all else fails,CHEAT!
Really!? If this idiot successfully defeats the recall vote, by this maneuver, then the Californians are truly SHEEPLE and deserve to have him as their governor. I want to know how his popularity improved after all of the shenanigan’s to keep the state under lockdown and all. Did he suddenly make a decision to let the state be open, some, and is this supposed to make his popularity better? It’s the same guy, that lockdown everything for the common people, while breaking his own rules for himself and those like minded individuals. If he defeats the recall and then goes back doing what he did with the lockdowns, there isn’t any reason to hear Californians whining about it, except for those who did vote to get the sucker kicked out of office, and those people need to find a way to leave that stinking state. He is still the leftist self-centered person that began the so-called pandemic crisis and he’ll return doing the same crap after the the recall attempt has passed. As the Scriptures say, “The dog returns to its own vomit, so too a fool to his folly.” (Prov 26:11)
BOY TALK ABOUT CORRUPTION. THAT IS TOTALLY IN FULL VIEW AND IF YOU PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA CAN’T SEE THAT THEN YOU DESERVE WHAT YOU GET…..A COMPLETE MORONIC AND CORRUPT GOVERNOR.
