California Governor Gavin Newsom and his allies tried to keep talk radio host Larry Elder off the ballot for the recall election. But they failed miserably.
Fox News reported:
Conservative talk radio host Larry Elder told Fox News on Wednesday that California Gov. Gavin Newsom and his Democratic allies are "scared to death" after a judge overturned the state’s bid to block Elder’s name from appearing on the ballot in an upcoming recall election.
State elections officials initially barred Elder, a Republican candidate seeking to replace Newsom, from being on the ballot for allegedly filing incomplete tax information. Elder maintained that he filed all necessary paperwork and accused elections officials of failing to provide a clear reason for his ouster.
Superior Court Judge Laurie M. Earl determined that Elder’s application met state requirements, clearing the way for him to formally enter the race. Elder hailed the judge’s decision, arguing state elections officials challenged his bid because he represents the biggest threat to Newsom’s chances.
Elder appears to be the front runner for governor, provided that Newsom is recalled out of office.
Between now and the election on September 14, all Elder has to do is campaign and make sure his campaign manager Lou Barnett doesn't do anything embarrassing to the campaign between now and then (unless Elder sacks him first).
