reality is that Davis was not given a chance to be one of those considered by the electorate. This is not fair.

He certainly was.

They could have voted NO on the recall question.

And why do you keep harping on the recall vote being 51/49? It was not. He was rejected by a huge margin and not your plucked-out-of-thin-air ratio.

What if he had received 49% of the vote saying NO to recall but Arnold had only received 34% of the vote. Arnold would be governor even though 49% of the people wanted Davis. Davis would not be governor in this scenario because the way the recall law is written he could not have his name on the ballot against Arnold. If Davis had had his name on the ballot along next to Arnolds as an option then it would have been a fair law.
