Recall litigation news See reports in: the
Los Angeles Times (and here);
the
Sacramento Bee; the
San Diego Union Tribune; the
San Francisco Chronicle; and the
San Jose Mercury News.
"Chads Hang Over Recall" My Los Angeles Times oped is here.
One point I did not have a chance to make in print is that problems with
voting mechanics are only exacerbated by the plurality rule in part 2 of the
recall. The rule makes it much more likely that we will have a close election
and that selective failures of voting can affect the outcome of the election.
Vic Amar offers his thoughts on
recall litigation issues at Findlaw, including an intriguing suggestion to
use the single transferable vote in future recall elections.
