Organizers going for 2 million signatures total as Newsom begins talking about reopening the schools.
Ever since the Los Angeles Times published a toxic article connecting Recall Newsom petition signers to white supremacists and anti-vaxxers, I have been an ardent advocate for the effort to force a vote of the California governor.
The last time I checked, the number of petition signers was 1.4 million. Recent reports indicate that the activists have gathered the required 1.5 million signatures necessary to get a recall vote on the ballot.
Signature update just now received from @TomDelBecarro, chair of https://t.co/WKBiFgrWqp, the lead committee supporting @GavinNewsom recall: “We are above 1.5 million. The march to 2 million is on.” Still must be verified, but recall qualifies with 1.4 million valid signatures

The signatures must still be verified. Many believe that officials will analyze them with a fine-tooth comb and toss anything even a little out of place. Therefore the organizers hope to collect a total of 2 million signatures, and they have until March 17th. It appears, at this point, the luck of the Irish will be with them.
