Costa Mesa, Sep 14 (EFE/EPA).- Democrat Gavin Newsom won the California gubernatorial recall election on Tuesday by a wide margin, according to US media projections.Preliminary results, mostly from mail-in ballots, suggest that 66.8 percent of California voters (5.5 million) chose to keep the governor in office while 33.2 percent (2.7 million) wanted to recall him.The Republican-led recall referendum needed more than 50 percent of voters to vote in favor of Newsom's removal in order to elect a replacement by simple majority from among the 46 candidates who ran.Conservative radio host Larry Elder led that list of replacement candidates with 43.6 percent (1.9 million).
