"Recall Backers Go to Court" The Sacramento
Bee offers this
report, which begins: "One of the groups seeking to recall Gov. Gray
Davis took its fight to state court Thursday in hopes of speeding up signature
counting and forcing an election this fall...The Recall Gray Davis Committee
petitioned Sacramento's 3rd District Court of Appeal, asking it to override
a decision by Secretary of State Kevin Shelley that recall backers claim
is designed to slow down the process and delay the election until March."
It turns out the suit is backed by just one of the three recall groups.

Weintraub.)
