Larry Elder, Gavin Newsom gear up for California recall battle

California Gov. Gavin Newsom and his leading opponent, Larry Elder, have each already indicated they’re ready for legal challenges over the recall election.

There are still two days to go before California’s gubernatorial recall election, but the current governor’s team and his leading opponent, Larry Elder, have each already indicated they’re ready for legal challenges. In a sit-down interview with ABC News’ Zohreen Shah on Saturday, Elder was asked repeatedly if he would accept the results of Tuesday’s election, but he avoided answering by conveying confidence in his ability to win. "So many people are going to vote to have [Newsom] recalled, I'm not worried about fraud," he said. But Elder earlier this week made unsubstantiated claims of possible fraud at a campaign event, saying the recall could see similar "shenanigans" as many Republicans claimed happened in last year’s presidential election, despite no evidence of widespread election fraud.
