On Tuesday, the California voters most active leaned toward recalling Newsom, but that was just part of the overall picture.
To hear many at the polls on Tuesday, the effort to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom was just another political end run by Trump supporters to bypass the normal election process when they didn’t have majority support.
“I want a change,” said Eliza Boucher, 50, of Santa Ana, after voting for talk show Larry Elder. “I’m tired of all the closings and wearing the masks. I want the freedom we had before.”From Los Angeles to Bakersfield, Fresno to the North Coast, Californians turned out to vote Tuesday — on top of the millions who cast ballots days and weeks ago, driven by starkly different realities of the state and the nation, each side painting the other as an existential threat to its core values.
Among the recall’s opponents, some were ambivalent about Newsom, and cast ballots more out of fear of a far right-wing takeover by talk show host Larry Elder.
