California: Newsom Recall Round Up -- Is Newsom causing a bump in recalls throughout the state?

The New York Times looks at the question of whether the Newsom recall is responsible for a bump in recalls statewide. I'm quoted in the piece arguing that the connection is not there and that California is having a fairly regular recall year. The LA and SF District Attorneys recall, as well as the SF School Board, all are about national issues, and are to some degree intraparty, that there is no reason to believe that it is caused by the Newsom effort.

Here's another NYT piece on the September 14 date, citing my previous writing claiming that a later recall would help Newsom. 

And an Op-ed by Ezra Klein in the NYT talking about the vetocracy and the downside of the recall. Its very much a "Nuts and Gum, Together at Last!" piece, which seems to have little to do with the recall.

Here's Republican Strategist Jason Cabel Roe discussing the replacement field.
