California: Oakland Mayoral recall campaign heads into final stretch; Oakland NAACP backs recall effort

The recall effort against Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao is also heading into the homestretch, with a focus on the claim that the recall is "anti-democratic" (obviously, we object and it is instead "Raw Democracy")

The Oakland NAACP has come out backing the recall due to the firing of the police chief (for whatever it's worth, the Northern California NAACP came out in opposition to the Alameda DA recall).

Also of interest, Thao failed to fill out her statement against the recall effort, so that will not appear on the ballot. This has happened before in other jurisdictions, but obviously a bit strange.
