CA Recall Election Options

Lieutenant governor write in.

Vote no and leave the second option blank
I’ve seen this strategy suggested but I don’t follow why. Assuming one votes no, it seems like also voting the least evil alternative is the way to go in case a majority votes yes.
Should You Really Leave Question Two Blank on the Recall Ballot?
Gavin Newsom's team has advised voters against picking a possible replacement, but that strategy may be flawed
www.lamag.com
It’s unclear how, exactly, that strategy helps Newsom, since answering the second question will have no bearing on whether Newsom is ousted, and if enough people vote “Yes” on the first question, one of those 46 candidates will be the next governor—even if as few as 20 percent of voters select them.

Which is why you write in the lieutenant governor as is the system to do regarding succession, regardless of this secondary attempt at insurrection
Ambassador Eleni Kounalakis was sworn in as the 50th Lieutenant Governor of California by Governor Gavin Newsom on January 7th, 2019.
A. Voting "no" still allows you to pick a candidate. In the case that a majority votes "yes" then your section gets counted. In the instance that the majority votes "no" then the candidate selected has no bearing on the outcome. I'm not sure what the blank option achieves other than it looks like you are protesting.
B. Write-in is just for someone not on the ballot (there's something like 46 options). It can't be Gavin. I assume it is a wasted vote as there is no write-in currently in demand by the public voice.
Lt gov as a position is the second in line for the job. Think vice pres (if you're asking what the job is, not the person)
There's actually a movement to write in Kounalakis because since she's the one who has to 'call' the special election, she can't be a formal candidate (a formality, she knows it's BS too).
What one achieves is that there are enough voters who voted for newsom, if they vote for the second in command they show the knuckledraggers they can't subvert the system of a democratically elected position just because they're pissy little babies manipulating a fucked up state law (which this is). The gov't they voted for in the normal democratic process would largely be the gov't they maintain, instead of this minority rule bullshit.

I’m bracing for Elder. If you look up video news on YT, his “supporters” are everywhere.
I don’t want to live on this planet anymore
Finally. A candidate I can believe in.
Seems like No/Paffrath is the best strategy to keep out Elder so that's what I'll be doing.

Latest Polls Of The California Recall Election
Do voters in California want to remove Gov. Gavin Newsom from office?
Should things go "yes" on the first question, then Paffrath currently has the numbers to be a threat to Elder, which is a bonus if his Dem status is your thing.
Recent debates show the 3 Rep guys just want to shit on Gavin.
Weird that that's not being advocated, well, anywhere.
The no/blank option just seems fucking stupid. If Newsom can't be governor does he just hope we get an even bigger piece of shit than him so he can maybe get his job back in a year?
the vote is tomorrow, but the GOP in CA is already crying about "election fraud"
Larry Elder Prepares to Challenge Ca. Recall With Talk of 'Voter Fraud'
Governor Newsom has described Elder's talks of voter fraud as an "extension of the Big Lie and 'Stop the Steal.'"

hm. seems to coincide with polling showing the GOP more likely to lose.....Larry Elder Prepares to Challenge Ca. Recall With Talk of 'Voter Fraud'

Analysis: Republicans need a historic polling miss to win the California recall
Newsom's position is strengthening significantly. While there are a few gubernatorial elections featuring a polling error as large as Newsom's advantage, it would take one of the largest polling misses in the last 23 years for him to be recalled.

It's just *astounding* to me that relatively reasonable people are still willing to identify as Republicans.
Oh, wait. No it isn't. And I take back the "reasonable" part...

ROLF! too soon, junior.
I can't even be mad. that is fucking awesome.
he forgot the iNtEgRiTiEs was tomorrow night's topic
in a normal reality, something like that going public the night before an election would murder a candidates chances of winning, or at the very least undermine any allegations of fraud.
In Republican reality that is just called 'motivating the base' (lowest common denominator)
doubling down on bullshit = owning the libs
well, it actually happened. i saw a FB post from a conservative CA voter saying: i think i'd rather have mask mandates than a new governor.
it's........

I often wonder how people can follow such an absurd ideology, then I am reminded of Mormons, Scientologists and the fact that Catholics no longer have to practice under the threat of death.
