Votes are still coming in, but the vast majority of the last day last minute votes are votes AGAINST the recall, so her lead is likely to only grow.

A good thing happened today! And it’s due to MONTHS of tireless effort from organizers and comrades all across the country

Fuck you Amazon suck my nuts

    Good news - Wish she'd not let this one come after the city general, where our candidates got slaughtered, but we take the wins we can get and continue to hold enough seats to keep our new lib mayor from doing too much new damage...

      Afaik there was a huge campaign to get the recall shut down which failed, and another to get it on the normal election day, which also failed

          I worked with people in the SA campaign and that was the info I was working with

          Basically the recall wanted it on an off day to drive down turnout which usually favors the right, and the Kshama campaign was fighting against that

          It came down to the recall campaign refused to turn in their petitions on time, despite having enough signatures well before the deadline, to force the scheduling delay. Standard electoral fuckery
