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).

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem backed up on Sunday President Donald Trump's insistence the presidential election was stolen from him. Business Insider reports Noem said on ABC's 'This Week' that "illegal activities" may have aided President-elect Joe Biden at the ballot box. When faced with host George Stephanopolous's pushback, Noem was adamant that widespread fraud existed, despite having zero concrete evidence. The governor also insisted 'dead people voted in Pennsylvania,' repeating an internet rumour that has been debunked by The New York Times. But Stephanopoulos was equally unmoved, saying that the claims of voter fraud were unfounded. It starts with providing evidence. You still have not provided it.
