After I voted and dropped in the ballot I had the sickening feeling that I may have done what you described. Then I decided "nah" I musted have voteed Yes.
Beware San Bernadino County's ballot could lead you to easily bypass the first question.
I almost forgot to vote on the recall question. I'm in Orange County and we had a large paper ballot with no separation between the quesstion and the list of candidates. Very easy to skip the recall question.
