There are still 7 weeks until the March 10th deadline and the organizers would like to well exceed that 1.5M threshold in case any of the signatures are found to be invalid.<\/p>\n<p>If the campaign does gather the needed signatures, voters will face two questions on the ballot. The first will ask whether or not Newsom should be recalled. The next will include a list of candidates to replace Newsom, and voters will be asked to choose one. If a majority of voters indicate that Newsom should be replaced, the candidate with the most votes will take his spot.<\/p>\n<p>To sign the petition visit <a href=\"https:\/\/rescuecalifornia.org\/\">Rescue California<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Republican Party of San Diego County is encouraging voters to join them in their &#8220;5&#215;5 plan,&#8221; in which one person signs the petition and recruits 5 others to sign as well, then those 5 people find 5 other people and the cycle goes on.<\/p>\n<p>Executive Director Jordan Gascon said &#8220;We can do this but we need to work together!
