UPDATE: Richard Winger of Ballot Access News sends along the following via e-mail regarding my last point: "Last week, Bill Wood, counsel to the Secretary of State, with a great deal of confidence in his voice, told me on the phone that Shelley had decided that this is not a 'gubernatorial election' for the purpose of statewide initiatives and new party qualification. But it does apply as a base for any future gubernatorial recall."
Wood may have had a great deal of confidence, but without any analysis, I wonder if the distinction would hold up to scrutiny.-- Professor Rick Hasen Loyola Law School 919 South Albany Street Los Angeles, CA 90015-0019 (213)736-1466 - voice (213)380-3769 - fax rick.hasen@lls.edu http://www.lls.edu/academics/faculty/hasen.html http://electionlawblog.org
