Ninth Circuit Court Ruling delayed the October 7th Recall Election, possibly until March of next year.

The issue is that six California counties have not upgraded to electronic voting tools, and the claims that votes of up to 40% of the public could be incorrectly tallied if the older paper "chad" oriented equipment is used.

More court actions are forthcoming, and the original election date may be restored.

Arnold's comments indicate in no uncertain terms that he would like the election to proceed as scheduled.

If it does not, at least it will allow more time for voters to learn about the issues.
