Plenty of Republicans and business groups have qualified ballot questions in the past - including Issa himself as the primary contributor to the 2003 gubernatorial recall that led to former Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's election. But some Republicans are attempting to shake the electorate's confidence in the elections system this time - just as Trump did in swing states and in California prior to the 2020 presidential election.

Some conservatives have already posted false claims on social media, like actor Kevin Sorbo, perhaps best known for his title role on the 1990s "Hercules" TV series. "So California is requiring signature verification for Gavin Newsom's recall, but didn't require it for the mail in ballots. How strange," Sorbo tweeted last month in a claim that was false because registrars are required to check signatures on mail-in ballots - one reason election results can take so long to emerge in California.

The tweet - shared and liked more than 120,000 times - was amplified without correction by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who has backed the recall and donated more than $100,000 to the campaign.
