Sigh of relief and frustration

One of the stupidest elections in my memory is now over, with Gavin Newsom, Boy Governor, retaining his seat by a healthy margin (about 25% according to the Secretary of State's website, as of this writing).

Boy, was that a great use of $300 million in taxpayer dollars and the time and effort of California's grassroots activists. eyeroll emoji

Can we please, please fix this terrible broken recall system now?? Like we should have done in 2003?
