Description | SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- Democrat Gray Davis will have to fight to keep his job this fall in the nation's first gubernatorial recall election in 82 years, state officials announced Wednesday after tallying the results of a Republican-led petition drive that seemed farfetched just months ago.
Secretary of State Kevin Shelley said in a news conference that counties had reported 1.3 million valid petition signatures, well more than the 897,158 required for the recall to make it on the ballot.
"This is the first statewide special election in California's history. The challenges are profound," Shelley said. "This could very well be one of the most important ballots our citizens ever cast." |
