California: Newsom Recall Date Set for September 14

The date is now set, as California Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis set the Governor Gavin Newsom recall for September 14. Apparently, the "early recall" proponents won out. I wonder if there could be lawsuits against the quicker process, though Kounalakis did choose a relatively longer time frame (she had 60-80 days, and this is 75 days from July 1).

This is one week after Labor Day, which at least one Political Scientist feels is likely to help boost turnout for Newsom. The week before would have been Rosh Hashanah, so that may also have played a part in the calculations (and the Tuesday dates for the two weeks afterwards are also Jewish holidays which provide significant limitations on the ability of Orthodox Jews to vote, which may have played a role in choosing the 14th).
