    Dave Weigel Retweeted Rob Pyers

    More than 6 million votes cast and two out of every five voters don't have a preference of who should replace Newsom. You really gotta appreciate Arnold's "be one of the most famous people in the world" strategy.https://twitter.com/rpyers/status/1435625159570837505 …

        I feel like we've written this many times, but that's the strange thing about Elder as frontrunner - he *is* a major celebrity for one part of the electorate, but a larger part (Dems) really didn't know who he was when he got in.

        What happens if "Yes" wins on Question 9, but "None" wins on Question 10?

        The person with the most votes there wins. So somone could theoretically become governor with a tiny portion of the vote. “None” isn’t an operative option.

        I like to imagine those 38% are saying "you know what? Maybe we try just not having a governor for a while and see how it goes."

        Then again, Jenner is the most famous person on this list so it’s probably important that the people who know you like you as well

        Just out of curiosity, if the recall went through with the replacement being no one…what happens?

        *This* is particularly silly to me, cause if the Nones "win" along with a "Yes" win, then there should be an actual election to replace the Governor; it shouldn't just automatically go to someone who didn't win the support of most of the voters!
