A new bill that is now making its way through the California legislature is set to allow targets of state recalls to be able to see the names of individuals who have signed a petition against them.

Although the bill theoretically wouldn’t apply to the upcoming potentially recall of Gavin Newsom, proponents of the recall against Newsom came to the California capital of Sacramento to oppose passage of the bill citing the threat to future recall efforts it poses, citing the fact that the new legislation would be easily abused if passed and potentially used to intimidate future recall signatories.

As Townhall reports:

Earlier this week, a bill that would allow California politicians facing recall petitions to see the signers cleared its first committee.

According to KTLA, the bill would take effect next year if passed, so it would not apply to the current recall election of Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom, but leaders of the Newsom recall came to the Capitol in Sacramento to oppose the bill, for the simple reason that it would be easily abused and discourage anyone from signing petitions in the future due to fear of retaliation.

However, the bill’s author, State Senator Josh Newman, defended the bill, saying that it would help make sure that voters would not be duped into signing petitions that they did not mean to.

At a public hearing before the Senate Elections Committee, Newman said that “[I]t is a fundamental tenet of the American justice system that the accused should always have the right to face his or her accusers.”

  2. I would tell them to their face that I signed to get rid of the bastards As long as people are afraid of the commiecrats it’s going to get worse

    1. Unfortunately, the political climate in California precludes dissident participation–dissidents being conservatives. You watched that Jewish bully violently assault the young conservative activist on the Berkeley campus, and nothing has been done to put that man in prison where he belongs. (Of course, if a similar assault occurred against him, their precious Holocaust would be referenced to the tune of 6 million times by every news outlet on the planet…)

      1. David I would have gone down swinging. They haven’t met a real hillbilly yet I’ve never been afraid to bleed

      2. What’s this about the ‘Jewish bully’, and (of course, if a similar assault occurred against him, *their precious Holocaust* would be referenced to the tune of 6 million times by every news outlet on the planet???) who are ‘they’? Jew-hater!

  3. I did not employ a nom de plume in my email to “Any Twosome” Newsom, when I demanded that he step down from office. He knows where I live.

        1. Not quite! Everything that is playing out now is a Movie. The real Biden is goodbyes, actors are taken the roles, CGI, Clones or body doubles. In reality, California went RED according to the Quantum QVS System counted by the Military. When teh true President is back visibly the good life will begin. In the meantime pray for the safety of President Trumps safety as the Luciferans have a bounty on his head. God will protect the 19th President of the Republic of America

      1. We need to start deporting the illegals first, then stop the ballot harvesting and voter fraud which has allowed illegals and non citizens to vote since like the mid 80’s.

    1. Plus actually the stupidity is on the dems as they think there’s nothing wrong with what they do, nepotism et al.

  4. I like how they all dribble, state, or scream “Due process” when its something they want to slip past the electorate. Forget it for anyone opposing.

  5. Why is anyone surprised???? Liberal Democrats have a history of urging their supporters to retaliate against their opponents using both passive and violent tactics.

  6. The most sacred right an American citizen has is to vote in elections. The democrats oppose voter ID laws, let anyone vote as open as they like, living or dead!! But they are in favor of knowing voted against them in a recall…… sounds pretty Democratic to me!!

  7. We all know that Ca. has ALWAYS been a state that’s home to communist rule, they’ve always had airheads elected into their government!!! newsom is by far the worst communist, and now I find out that newsom is the nephew of the one & only WITCH OF DC, pelosi!!!! Now some thing’s make sense.

  8. The signing of a petition and voting is a private action. The voters in California need to join together and inform their representatives and senators that they WILL be voted out of office if they pass such a law. Rise up voters of California, take back your state from the communists.

  9. Let them see my name. We need to rid the country of these morons and, if a recall is the way, millions would be glad to sign the petition.

  10. The more people accept their draconian excuses for “Covid” laws, the worst it will become. Civil disobedience is required en masses Why allow one traitor who takes money from the CCP to destroy California to get his way! Not only remove him, but get him a free holiday in Gitmo

  11. I would care less if they saw my signature to remove these communist controlled democrats, they need to go!

    Remove all communist controlled democrats from office! period.

  12. In the 2020 Presidential election California ignore all legislative laws and signatures, how this law apply to some but no other elections or recall, more legislation to perpetuate fraud intimidation and coercion…
