Yes, some people don't realize this, but you vote on both parts regardless of your vote on #1.

So if you vote to keep him, you still should vote for his replacement in part 2, in the case he does get recalled

Responses:

The Democratic party is asking you not to vote on #2. I don't agree. -- nm - jnine Aug 18, 17:40 6
- There’s no one on the D side running so again that makes sense. -- nm - spamlet Aug 18, 18:08
- If it's 20% of votes cast that puts a candidate into office, not voting reduces the hurdle the whackjobs need to clear to win. -- nm - TWuG Aug 18, 17:59
- That doesn't really make sense to me. I guess they are trying to project confidence, but I'm not liking the approach. -- nm - ty97 Aug 18, 17:51 3
  - My friends and I have decided to vote for Caitlyn Jenner. She won't figure out how to get anything done. -- nm - jnine Aug 18, 18:19
  - Assume Newsom survives. If there's a "reasonable" R that wins the second portion then he gets legitimacy for the next proper election -- (edited) - Reagen Aug 18, 18:07
  - or claim some PR victory should the recall petition pass by keeping the # of voters on part 2 lower. - Baron and Barratry Aug 18, 17:57

- It seems weird at first, but I think it makes sense, at least insomuch as this is a recall vote, not a new election. - ty97 Aug 18, 17:47 1
  - At least, this is my understanding of as an other-coaster without a pick in this election -- nm - ty97 Aug 18, 17:49
