California Voters Go To Polls For Recall Election

HeadlineOct 07, 2003

And California voters go to the polls today to cast votes in the state’s contested recall election. Officials say the results of the vote may not be known for days in part because more than 2 million people have already cast absentee ballots. Voters will be asked to vote yes or no on whether to recall California Governor Gray Davis as governor. And then voters will choose one of 135 candidates to replace Davis if he is recalled. Davis yesterday described the race as a “a dead heat.” Polls show support dropping for actor Arnold Schwarzenegger following allegations that he sexually harassed and molested 16 women and that he had a record of speaking admiringly of Hitler.
