California Gov. Gavin Newsom faces his fifth recall attempt as a citizen-led group of conservative activists launched a fresh campaign on Monday to remove him from office.
Organizers with Rescue California plan to serve the governor with recall papers, citing concerns such as the states budget deficit, public safety and immigration.
Over 400 Californians of every political persuasion and from all walks of life, have joined together to serve as official proponents of this Recall, Anne Dunsmore, the director of the latest effort, said in a statement.

According to the link, the group must collect approximately 1.38 million verifiable signatures by May to be eligible for the November ballot.

(96,317 posts)put and end to these repuke shenanigans by simply legislating raising the percentage of signatures required for a recall from 11% to 20-25% like most states who allow recalls have.
Just an unnecessary and costly process
