1. California voters will decide whether to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom on
Tuesday, concluding an idiosyncratic election that has been held in the middle
of a pandemic and closely watched as one of the first big indicators of the
country’s political direction since President Biden took office.
Democrats feel increasingly confident, predicting that Newsom will prevail
and avert what would be a disaster for the party in California, the nation’s
most-populous state. If Newsom is recalled, his likely replacement would be
Larry Elder, a conservative talk radio host who has made a career bashing
liberal causes.
But the fact that the Democratic governor of a state Biden won by nearly 30
percentage points is being forced to fight to hold on to his post has highlighted
the vulnerabilities of leaders who seemed well positioned before the
coronavirus pandemic.
Democrats are trying to energize voters without former President Donald J.
Trump on the ballot, and a loss — or even a narrow victory — would raise
questions about the political clout of Biden, who campaigned with Newsom
on Monday night.
The leading Republicans vying to replace Newsom have embraced Trump
and his baseless claims of a stolen election, an early signal of the party’s
unwillingness or inability to distance itself from the former president.

2. Facebook provided a data set to a consortium of social scientists last year that
had serious errors, affecting the findings in an unknown number of academic
papers, the company acknowledged on Friday.
The company used a regular monthly call on Friday with roughly three dozen
researchers affiliated with Social Science One, a consortium founded in 2018
that Facebook hails as a model for collaboration with academics, to admit the
error and apologize for the impact on their work.
The data concerns the effect of social media on elections and democracy and
includes what web addresses Facebook users click on, along with other
information. The error resulted from Facebook accidentally excluding data
from U.S. users who had no detectable political leanings — a group that
amounted to roughly half of all of Facebook’s users in the United States.
Gary King, a Harvard professor who co-chairs Social Science One, said
dozens of papers from researchers affiliated with Social Science One had
relied on the data since Facebook shared the flawed set in February 2020. But
he said the impact could be determined only after Facebook provided
corrected data that could be reanalyzed.
