Judge Rules Against Gov. Gavin Newsom; No ‘D’ Next to His Name on Recall Ballot
‘A good day for the good guys!’

State Superior Court Judge James Arguellas in Sacramento just ruled that California Gov. Gavin Newsom cannot identify as “Democrat” on the September recall ballot with a “D” after his name. He and his attorneys missed the deadline to designate his party affiliation, a superior court judge in Sacramento ruled Monday afternoon.
Gov. Newsom filed a lawsuit against California Secretary of State Shirley Weber in late June asking the court to require the Secretary of State print Newsom’s political party on the recall ballots, after neglecting to file the proper party notice 16 months ago, the Globe reported.
“According to Newsom, he and his team had simply forgotten to file a party preference notice in time,” the Globe reported. “By law, Newsom had a short window in February 2020 to file such a notice, when the recall petition itself had been originally filed. As Newsom had gone through recall petition attempts before and never had a signature vote total even close to the number required, he and his team didn’t file and left the party affiliation part open.”
Here’s what Judge Arguellas’ ruling said:
Gavin Newsom’s (Governor Newsom) petition for writ of mandate is DENIED.
Governor Newsom’s complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief is DISMISSED as duplicative.
Governor Newsom’s request for judicial notice of the text of Senate Bill (SB) 151 {2019) and portions of the bill’s legislative history is GRANTED.
The application of Orrin E. Heatlie, Mike Netter and The California Patriot Coalition — Recall Governor Gavin Newsom (collectively “Heatlie Intervenors”) to intervene is unopposed and GRANTED.
The application of Caitlyn Jenner and Caitlyn Jenner for Governor 2021, Inc. (collectively “Jenner Intervenors”) to intervene is unopposed and GRANTED.
The objection of the Jenner Intervenors to the declaration submitted by Governor Newsom’s counsel is OVERRULED.
The judge concluded his ruling: “As Governor Newsom has requested an expedited ruling in this case, his counsel shall lodge for the court’s signature a proposed judgment that incorporates this ruling as an exhibit.”
“A good day for the good guys!” said Eric Early, attorney for Orrin Heatlie, Mike Netter, and the California Patriot Coalition – Recall Governor Gavin Newsom.

LOVE IT!
(D) Delightfully righteous
HAHAHAHA, this just made my night! Let the castle continue to crumble…..
In Newsom’s ballot statement he can simply describe himself as Dipshit. That would be accurate and take care of the “D”.
HA HA! Laughing and enjoying all of your comments so much, Cali Girl, Stacy, Fed Up.
It’s such a comedy at this point, isn’t it — for the moment, at least — but if you made it up and tried to sell it to Hollywood you couldn’t. They’d say it was too implausible!
@ShowandTell,
So true, it reminds me of the bumbling, corrupt Hedley Lamarr in Blazing Saddles. Hrumph,Hrumph!
Life imitating Art…
I didn’t get a harumph outta that guy. Lol
I was telling my kids about this story and my daughter said, I thought the D was for Demon. To which my son replied, no it’s for Dickhead. ????????????
HA HA! And what super-smart kids you have, Aura Pickering. 🙂
Ha,ha????
Aura, I do not know your kids but I love them any how for their candidness!
Harrumph ????
LOL Hedley Lamarr! A blast from the past!
I want Gavin Newsom to be criminally investigated for the billion-dollar masks deal with a CCP company using taxpayers’ money and the multi-million dollar mansion gift that he received from his cousin. This is just the tip of the iceberg on the investigations that need to be conducted on Newsom and his administration. It’s time for a corruption-crime clean sweep in Sacramento. RECALL GAVIN NEWSOM!
Wouldn’t that be complete justice Christian!
Unfortunately the dirtiest seem to get promoted up into the Biden administration.
And hopefully THEY will be de-installed shortly, as the Arizona, Georgia & other voter-fraud investigations’ results are made public…
The voter fraud is significant in this state and now in the country – I believe that back-door exploits have been included in the D ominion Votin g Sy stems that the corrupt Democrat Secretary’s of State & County Voter Administrators have been fiddling with during the tabulation & reporting phases…
I strongly suspect that the volume of Trump votes “broke the algorithm” or standard overrides and required the first-ever nationwide overnight shut-downs & blockages of observers that were reported in various jurisdictions…
@Christian, That would be SWEET JUSTICE. Newsome is the most corrupt CA governor.
The recall is just the first step. I have little doubt he will be serving decades in prison once the full extent of his crime and treason are revealed.
If Newsom was honest, the party designation would be (NSDAP)
Heil Newsom!
Someone buy wittle Newsie an icecream. He had a BAD day.
HA HA!
This is terrible. How are Hispanic voters going to know for whom to vote without the D?
