Salem Radio Network talk show host Larry Elder was reinstated Wednesday in California’s gubernatorial recall election at the eleventh hour after a judge found he complied with ballot requirements and that the state elections chief should never have demanded that candidates provide five years of tax returns.
The upcoming recall election is a special contest, not a direct primary. Nevertheless, Weber determined that the law should apply this time because it was intended to allow the public to vet gubernatorial hopefuls. That’s a similar interpretation that Newsom’s campaign team pushed in May when it gave reporters 90 minutes to review the governor’s 2019 tax returns.
