It was democratic - it's not his fault that so many people in California (in every state, really) that can vote don't. Using that example, we could easily say the same for Bush.

Regardless.

Say you have 100 people to vote. 49 want Davis to stay. 51 want him gone.

I suppose it could be argued that the recall vote is a "primary" of sorts.

So a "no" on a recall automatically turns into a Davis vote on the second ballot? Or do they still have to punch "Davis" on the second? (No pun intended) Or does that ballot automatically go into the second vote?

Like I said, I'm not familiar at all with the process California has for it. Just wondering.
