California: More on State Senate recall

Some more details about the recall effort against State Senator Aisha Wahab (D), based in Fremont.

The leader of the effort seems to be Ritesh Tandon, who is challenging Congressman Ro Khanna (though that seems like an extreme longshot race).

Some of the stories suggest that recall seems to be about her bill that attempted to outlaw caste discrimination (the bill was vetoed by Governor Gavin Newsom). The website lists a kitchen sink of complaints, but the caste discrimination bill seems to be her most notable moment.

Petitioners need 42,802 signatures to get on the ballot. They are aiming for 75-80K, which at least sounds like the right amount, though let's call it a heavy lift.
