Second Chances
Just about everyone is decrying the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals' ruling that the recall election should be postponed.
But the Orange County Register gives a good reason as to why we ought to let the ruling stand: According to the paper, if the vote is pushed to March, those of us not yet on the ballot may have another crack at running for governor!
While 135 candidates may already seem like a lot, I'm still surprised at how few actually made it on the ballot. There ought to be hundreds of B-list character actors chomping at the opportunity. This could be their second chance!
According to the paper:
Riverside County Registrar Mischelle Townsend speculated Tuesday that postponing the recall until March would make it a new election - with a new candidate-filing period. Los Angeles County Chief Deputy Registrar Kristin Heffron said that the filing question is being raised among election officials but that no one has provided an answer.
