PRESS RELEASE
Schwarzenegger Statement on Ninth Circuit Court Ruling. Arnold Schwarzenegger issued the following statement today regarding the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision regarding the date of the recall election: “One million, six hundred thousand Californians of all political persuasions have signed petitions to recall Governor Gray Davis. The Secretary of State has certified that this election should go forth on October 7th. The California Supreme Court has also ruled that the election should go forward on October 7th. I fully expect that the federal courts will come to the same conclusion. “Today, I call upon the Secretary of State to immediately appeal this decision on behalf of the citizens who have exercised their constitutional right to recall Gray Davis, and who expect an election on October 7th. “Historically, the courts have upheld the rights of voters, and I expect that the court will do so again in this case. “I will continue to vigorously campaign for governor. The people have spoken, and their word should – and will – prevail.” |
