A federal judge rejected a request to do away with or amend California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s recall or allow his name to be added to a second recall ballot question about who should replace the governor.

U.S. District Court Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald ruled the recall election process does not conflict with the  “one person, one vote” clause in the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment.
