Episode notes

Libby denkman is a senior reporter at k pc c public radio in los angeles. The last time we aked about this potential recall on the show, it seemed like a long shot. But now it at least seems like less of a longshot. So we asked libby to explain how we got here. Republicans in california got a huge boose to their effort to recall newsome last november when a judge granted a four month extension on the signature gathering process.

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.
