A recall election in California is not Candidate A vs. Candidate B. There will be two "questions" on the ballot. The first is whether Goobernor Noisome is recalled. The second, conditional on Noisome being recalled, is who will replace him. That latter will be a list of candidates, from which Noisome is excluded, as many as qualified for that part of the ballot.
So the election will not be Noisome vs. Bruce. If Bruce qualifies it will be Bruce vs. the rest of the field of candidates who qualified.
Also, AFAIK, California does not have a straight-ticket vote option. In 40+ years of voting in Santa Clara County I've never seen such a thing.
