The Republicans are already paving the way for “Newsom can only win the recall if he cheats”, Fox is saying it, Larry Elder is saying it, and others are saying the same thing. This is going to be the ongoing thing I guess, Democrats can only win if they cheat, ---

The Republican Senate Campaign Committee put out a press release claiming that the 2020 election was stolen, and signed it with Mike Pence’s name They had to retract it because Pence has never made the stolen election claim. > **[GOP Sends Out Fake Pence Email Calling 2020 Election 'Contested Takeover'](https://www.newsweek.com/gop-sends-out-fake-pence-email-calling-2020-election-contested-takeover-then-apologizes-1627851)** > > "It was not approved by Vice President Pence's team and we regret the error," a National Republican Senate Committee spokesperson said. ---

Elder’s campaign website already has language written as if Newsom has already “stolen” the election, and calls for people to provide proof of fraud, and asking them to sign a petition calling on the Legislature (which is vast majority Democrat) to investigate the fraud. > **[Larry Elder prepares for California recall loss with lawyers, voter fraud...](https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article254078633.html)** > > Former President Donald Trump is among those spreading false claims. ---

If he wins, he’s got a regular election next year to fundraise for, with the possibility of reproductive rights moving to the state level. There’s a crapton of money to be made from that both in and out of the state. If you can’t find the money making angle, you’re not trying very hard. ---

Same thing Lindell said about Trump winning states like Texas. The support for Elder was so strong that even though the Dems committed massive election fraud, they still couldn’t suppress the will of the people. If they hadn’t committed fraud Elder would have won by a landslide.
