More on Recall and resignations Four posts below this one is my analysis of the question whether Governor Davis may derail the recall election by retiring. My conclusion: he certainly cannot do so once the secretary of state has certified the election. But has the secretary of state taken a different viewpoint? This Roll Call piece (registration required) says the following: "Meanwhile, a spokeswoman for the California secretary of state’s office told Roll Call this week that it is unclear whether a scheduled recall election would proceed if Davis resigns before it takes place." The California Secretary of State's website apparently offers no explanation, though I would be very interested in hearing one.
