    California requires you to officially state reasons when you ask for a recall. They just get filled in with a bunch of nonsense in cases like this.

      Agreed. You have to state a reasonable case, otherwise no one will sign the petition. But if someone turns out not to be the person you thought you were voting for, and enough other people agree, then you shouldn’t have to be like “aw shucks, I guess they just get to keep doing their job until the next election.”

      “Whoops, we made a mistake… and it’s you” is a very important part of democratic politics.
