California: Legislature passes bill to remove replacement races from local recalls

The California state legislature has passed a bill that will remove replacement races for local recall elections and replace it with the "Automatic Replacement" or Replace as by law" model. The legislators are focused on what they claim is hyperpartisanship. Presumably it would not impact charter cities that have their own laws. I'll have more to say on this soon, as I'm trying to place an op-ed on the subject.

No word if California Governor Gavin Newsom will sign the bill.
