Are gubernatorial recalls possible in Texas, Florida, and Georgia?

It would be great to get recall petitions to remove Abbott, DeSantis, and Kemp.

They've used these recalls against Democratic governors for years. I cannot think of any circumstances more warranted than their respective Covid-19 failures to kick them out of office.

Georgia does allow gubernatorial recalls, but the Governor would have to do something illegal, from my reading:

You can review such recalls for all states here:

No policies. No ideas. No sane candidates. So they try to recall.

Being pretty much regarded as a joke. She has very good approval ratings. She has handled the situations well.

I think November election results in MI will kill the idea of it.
