With 62% of the vote in, California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom has easily survived the recall effort with two-thirds of the Golden State's electorate voting no.
None of this, of course, will stop talk radio host and GOP candidate Larry Elder and Republicans from crying "fraud" which they have been doing even before the votes were counted knowing damn well they were going to lose tonight.
Elder crying voter fraud is like Barry Goldwater demanding a recount. He looks really stupid in the process. But Trumpism is built on lying and repeating the lie until your base accepts it as fact. It is also built on rejecting democracy unless you win and get your way. They live in a different universe and don't play by the same rules.
Gavin Newsom has won the battle but the questions remains if Trumpism will win the war.
