Column: Why I didn’t vote for any of the candidates in California’s joke of a recall election (via latimesopinion)
I got my ballot in the mail last week, but in a fit of pique, I didn’t vote on Question 2.
. What’s more, it’s entirely unnecessary, since the regularly scheduled election is only a year away.California has only recalled one governor since the option was added to the state Constitution 110 years ago. That was in 2003. That year, there were 135 random candidates vying to replace Gov. Gray Davis, including a pornographer, a sumo wrestler, some college students and an action hero movie star. The movie star won.Here’s the way it works.
That strategy, however, could backfire. If a majority of Californians vote to recall Newsom but there is no reasonable Democrat on the replacement ballot, then what? A Republican governor would probably be elected — even though Democrats in California outnumber Republicans by nearly 2 to 1.
