These GOPers are behaving as if they are running in a ruby red state like Alabama, where they could probably get away with telling lies about electoral outcomes and still get elected handily. Never mind the fact that lying is morally wrong to begin with. It hasn't occurred to them that they are running in a deeply blue state, and that they have to win over lots of voters outside of their base. Which includes a significant amount of Democrats and Independents, just to have at least a respectable losing outcome.

After 4 years of a dumpster fire of a presidential term, where a GOP trifecta gets turned into a Democratic trifecta, and 8 months into Biden's presidency, and they still can't let go of Trump. It is evident when rank and file candidates for elective office are engaging in Trumpy tactics. I'm not a fan of Gavin Newsom in the slightest(I don't have a high regard of him), and in a more sane time would be rooting for a Republican to win. But now that Larry Elder is promoting a form of the Big Lie, I think there needs to be a massive blowout of maybe 25-30 percent against recall. These GOPers need to be punished for their cavalier peddling of electoral fibs. And I mean SEVERELY punished. This kind of crap has got to stop. Maybe only after a blowout loss will they learn that it doesn't pay to engaging in this kind of reckless, dishonest bullcrap behavior.

Larry Elder's website had a link stating they lost due to fraud - and that was up last week. CA is a Democratic supermajority state, but the New GOP doesn't care about reality - they want to sow doubt, discord, and lack of faith in our democracy. They're playing a really dangerous game, and are pot-committed to "Stop the Steal".

Are they stooges for Putin and/or China, who'd love nothing more than to see the US diminished/collapse?
