Episode Six: The California Recall
•
Anne Matthews and Dorin Greenwood
Wow! It really is the Wild West in California politics! While there's a federal election happening north of the 49th parallel, there's another *very different kind of election* happening in the most populous state in America. The Governor is being recalled and that means he could get the boot from Office on September 14th.
We talked to Ben Christopher who covers politics and government for CalMatters.org about what a recall is, why it's happening now, how it works and what it could mean for Governor Gavin Newsom.
