Episode notes

Larry elder has a couple things going for him. One is that he only has to gain a plurality of support on the second question on the recall ballot. The enthusiasm for republicans to come out and take gavenusa out, it's so much greater than the enthusiasm on the democratic id. Even though democrats greatly outnumber republicans in the state, likely voters are pretty evenly split.

California could elect a Republican governor in a few weeks. KPCC reporter Libby Denkmann explains how. And the dean of the UC Berkeley School of Law argues the state's recall election process is unconstitutional.

This episode was produced by Amina Al-Sadi with help from Hady Mawajdeh, edited by Matt Collette, engineered by Efim Shapiro, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
