The Los Angeles Times reports that left-wing lawmakers hid a change in the laws governing recall election that will specifically benefit Newman specifically and the Democrats more broadly.
An official from the office of Democrat Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León of Los Angeles said, "Recalls are designed to be extraordinary events in response to extraordinary circumstances – and it's in the public’s overwhelming interest to ensure the security, integrity and legitimacy of the qualification process.”

According to the LA Times:
The bill would effectively give people new ways to block recall efforts by allowing a 30-day window for any voters who signed the petition to change their mind and have their signature be removed. Elections officials would then have 10 days to update their tally, and each signature would have to be verified manually. The proposal would then give lawmakers 30 additional days to review the financial impact of a recall election.
In total, all of that could delay any special election to remove a lawmaker by more than two months. And the language of the legislation makes the change apply to the current effort to recall Newman.
