The recall effort of California Gov. Gavin Newsom will move forward after organizers collected enough signatures.

Only 43 signatures were removed in the allotted 30-day period from April 26 to June 8 allowing voters to request theirs to be removed, and 1,719,900 verified signers remain, well above the roughly 1.5 million needed, Secretary of State Shirley Weber’s office announced Wednesday.
