Does anyone have more information on this decision? (Like, for instance, the actual text of the decision?)
U.S. District Judge Barry Moskowitz said voters will be allowed to cast a ballot for a potential successor to Davis even if they do not vote on whether he should be recalled.
This is written ambiguously, at least to me. Did he say that you can cast a ballot if you didn’t vote at all on the recall issue, or that you can cast a ballot if you vote against the recall? The former interpretation doesn’t really make sense–how many people are going to go to the polls who don’t have an opinion on the recall (other than, perhaps, those who are going to vote on the Racial Privacy Initiative), but that would be how I’d read the reporting here. If it’s the latter, they should have clearly said “even if they vote against the recall.”
