19. A majority of voters? Not quite!
Read the information on the Davis legal action. He is trying to make sure that the majority has the right to decide.

The recall was triggered by a tiny fraction of the people who voted in the last real election. Davis can get 49% of the vote in the recall and still lose to someone who gets 10% of the vote, because of the way it is set up.

The Republicans are planning to try to stop people from voting and some counties have already announced that they will have very limited voting places open.

The majority of Californians who vote, voted to keep Davis in a real election less than a year ago. This recall has nothing to do with a majority, it has to do with some crooks exploiting a 100 year old law that has some serious questions about it.

Davis is fighting not just for himself, but for the rights of all Californians who voted in the last election and who may want to have a say in who their governor is.

Davis is on the right side of this fight no matter how you look at it. The Republicans are trying to overturn an election, again.
