California gubernatorial candidate and Salem radio host Larry Elder says something isn’t right after his name was left off the state’s recall election candidate list. The California Secretary of State, Shirley Weber left Elder’s name off the list because his tax records were “incomplete” however Elder says that isn’t true.
We filed redacted AND unreacted returns–over 200 pages of 5 years of tax returns.
So they are saying either the redacted version or the unreacted version was “incomplete.”

Townhall reports:
“Politicians know I’m the only candidate who can beat Gavin Newsom — and that why they don’t want me on the ballot. They’re using shenanigans that they invested to block the doors to the Governor’s Office and make sure they stay in power,” he said in a statement.
“This doesn’t pass the smell test. The Secretary of State has invited me to sue to protect my right to be a candidate. And what about the right of the people to have the opportunity to vote for me? Unless cooler heads prevail in the Office of Secretary of State Monday morning and they walk back their unprecedented refusal to put me on the ballot, I will accept the invitation of the Secretary of State to sue on behalf of myself and the people. The voters won’t stand for it,” he added.
A campaign spokeswoman, Ying Ma, said she expects him to be on the final list.
“Our campaign submitted every document required by the Secretary of State and the Los Angeles County Registrar” to qualify, she said in a statement, according to Fox News.
The entire official list of candidates challenging Gavin Newsom in the recall election will be released this Wednesday, July 21.
