Election Law has the roundup. He expects the election to be delayed.
Unless the Justice Department grants preclearance of the consolidation of precincts in Monterey county and changes in voting laws that are allowing Props. 53 and 54 to be on the same ballot as the recall, or unless the state changes the laws to go back to the old laws (i.e., no consolidation and no inclusion of the propositions on the ballot), it looks like the court will order the recall election to be delayed.
Read the whole thing.

If he files one more bogus amicus brief, he may be in danger of being declared a vexatious litigant.

Posted by: right-wing vegetarian at September 2, 2003 04:01 PM (Permalink)The Justice Department has precleared the initiative inclusion. They haven't ruled yet on precinct consolidation, but that wouldn't delay the election (it would just prevent consolidation of voting precincts).
