A recall effort aimed at removing California Gov. Gavin Newsom from office has been backed by more than a million signatures.

Organizers of the recall effort, based in Newport Beach, California, need to raise 1.8 million signatures by mid-March in order to be put on the ballot, and they believe they are on track to do so after hitting the million-signature mark this week, 70% of the total needed, according to ABC 7 Los Angeles.
