Well, now the shoe is on the other foot, and what was good for the goose then is simply unpalatable to the same flock of loud, unruly birds today. With <em>President<\/em> Joe Biden safely ensconced in the White House and California Governor Gavin Newsom facing a very real threat of recall, simple security measures, like signature verification, are once again important to the Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>The hypocrisy is enough to have folks exclaiming \u201cHow dare you!?\u201d in outrage like some underage but overhyped <a href=\"https:\/\/www.libertynation.com\/gretas-mural-how-dare-you\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">climate activist<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Newsom\u2019s Novelty Wore Off?<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_552389\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-552389\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-552389\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Gavin-Newsom.jpg\" alt=\"Gavin Newsom\" width=\"450\" height=\"299\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-552389\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gavin Newsom<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>When Gavin Newsom ran for governor of California in 2018, he won handily. By April 2020, he enjoyed a 70% approval rating. That\u2019s not surprising, given the left-wing supermajority living in the Golden State. But coronavirus changed everything. Over the course of the first year CE (COVID Era), Newsom\u2019s bungled response \u2013 from closing schools and businesses to that unfortunate dinner party at the French Laundry \u2013 has quickly eroded whatever political high his supporters once enjoyed. For many, the novelty has worn off and, with it, his welcome in the Governor\u2019s Mansion.<\/p>\n<p>In order to trigger an election to replace him, those hoping to nix Newsom need almost 1.5 million signatures across several counties. They claim to have collected more than 1.5 million signatures and are hoping for at least 1.9 million so that they can come away with at least the required 1,495,709 signatures validated by March 17.<\/p>\n<h3>Signature Verification or Voter Suppression?<\/h3>\n<p>Late votes, ballots dumps in the middle of the night, mail-in ballots separated from envelopes before signatures could be matched \u2013 and all in hotly contested swing states where Trump seemed likely to beat Biden \u2026<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-564239\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/checking-signatures-300x183-1.jpeg\" alt=\"checking signatures\" width=\"450\" height=\"275\" \/>These were just some of the claims made regarding the 2020 election. Regardless of the individual merit of such claims, any attempts to investigate were characterized as a fascist attempt to overturn democracy. That\u2019s what the Dems and friendly media fed the people. Signature verification? Oh, that\u2019s voter suppression \u2013 until such a measure might save the rear of a Democratic Party elite like Newsom.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily for those who appreciate integrity \u2013 but not Newsom \u2013 even this \u201cfascist tactic\u201d seems unlikely to stop the storm that\u2019s coming for the governor. According to the office of California Secretary of State Shirley Weber, about 1.1 million signatures have been submitted and more than 668,000 of them \u2013 about 80% \u2013 have been accepted. So far, around 130,000 signatures have been rejected, but there\u2019s no news about 296,000 of the remaining 1.1 million \u2013 or the several hundred thousand more that haven\u2019t been submitted. Those who hope to oust the governor don\u2019t have far to go, and they have a couple of weeks to get there. Thus far, there has been no general conservative and Republican outcry against this \u201cattempt to overthrow democracy,\u201d at least nothing like the backlash for the fraud allegations of the 2020 presidential election. Perhaps that\u2019s because \u2013 unlike the left \u2013 conservatives want the truth. With an 80% acceptance rate on the petition signatures, it looks like truth is on their side.<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p><em>Read more from\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.libertynation.com\/author\/jimfite\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>James Fite<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please respect our republishing guidelines &#8211; Click Here Recall just a couple of months ago how any ballot security measure suggested by Republicans was mere conspiracy theory and an attempt &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2274638,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Gavin-Newsom-feature.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Newsom\u2019s Hail Mary: Dems Get Religion on Signature Verification","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-187839","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Gavin-Newsom-feature.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Newsom\u2019s Hail Mary: Dems Get Religion on Signature Verification","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187839","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=187839"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187839\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2274638"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=187839"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=187839"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=187839"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
