It is what it is. Part of leading the world's sixth largest economy is that the scale of your disasters is also bigger. I'm surprised it wasn't done before this as you really don't want to have to do evacuations of tourists on top of your evacuations of residents. However, most vacationers/tourists are done as school has restarted in most places (for better or worse). So, this isn't likely to impact voting much. As a side note: early ballots so far have been high. Lots of Democratic voters are pissed about this recall (it's costing a couple hundred million dollars for no good reason) and seem to be pretty motivated. That's probably good news for Newsom. However, don't take it for granted--go vote, dammit. Because the idiots behind this recall sure will.
