"The answer to that is, absolutely," state party spokesman Bob Mulholland said when asked whether the conduct of the voting may spark yet another legal challenge"

What I don't understand is why the recall forces haven't started legal proceedings on how the ballot is set up already.

If you vote No on the recall, you still get to vote on who you would like to be Governor if Davis does not survive the recall effort! I thought that voting against the recall was the same as voting for Davis, and yet they still get to pick an alternate. I don't get to vote for candidate A and then for candidate B, just in case.

You watch, every Democrat will vote no on the recall and then vote for Bustamante just to be sure. Then the numbers game will begin. Lets just say 100 people voted no on the recall and voted for Bustamante as well, and you have 101 people who voted for candidate A who just happenes to win the election. The Dems will spin this showing how only 101 votes were cast for the winning candidate while 200 votes were cast against him. "He has no mandate!" "The majority of votes were against the winner!" "The Republicans bought the election as they only won with 1/3rd of the votes."

Of course they will let the illiterate electorate assume that those 200 votes were cast by 200 people, not the 100 that really cast them. I mean everyone knows you only get one vote...right?

Best Regards

Gosh, the ballot set-up sounds so confusing....You have to decide yes or no on the recall...and then go on to Part 2! Some confused Democrat will muck it up.
