Appeals Court Rules Recall
Election Must Proceed Oct. 7

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. -- California's gubernatorial recall election must occur Oct. 7 as scheduled, a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday, overturning an earlier court order postponing the historic vote until March. The American Civil Liberties Union, which had sought the delay, said it wouldn't appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. That cleared what is likely the last legal obstacle from the path to Election Day.
