The campaign to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom received more than 20,000 direct-mail petition signatures in a single day, and organizers say the barrage of mail is an indication the initiative is working.

Inside the office of Anne Hyde, Rescue California’s campaign manager and finance director, volunteers on Jan. 4 opened and sorted thousands of envelopes containing signed petitions, a response to the 1.5 million direct-mailers sent to registered Republicans by the campaign.
