UC Berkeley Web Site Explores Recall Issues

All you recall junkies, listen up.  

UC Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies (IGS) has launched a web site on California’s recall effort at www.igs.berkeley.edu/library/htRecall2003.htm. 

The site covers the history and legal basis of the state’s recall provisions, an overview of the key developments in the effort to oust Gov. Gray Davis, links to websites and polls, information on candidates and a summary of the legal challenges to the recall effort. 

The first version of the site appeared in April 2003, when the recall seemed far-fetched, and has been continually updated.
