The Cost Of California’s Recall Election

New Yorker: “Days after the winds of the recall have settled, what do we know? For starters, the cost: an estimated two hundred and seventy-six million dollars on the tab of California taxpayers, who landed back where they started, with a mostly unobjectionable Governor (in the run-up to the recall election, Newsom’s approval rating rose from fifty-two per cent to fifty-seven) and, quite possibly, the low-key self-hatred of someone who blew his bonus on an ill-advised, hard-to-remember night.” “That cost figure doesn’t factor in the time devoted to the recall—not yours, not mine, but certainly the Governor’s and his staff’s—which, in light of political leaders’ already being thought to spend too much of their terms campaigning and fund-raising, is a curious hair-of-the-dog cure for the complaint.”
