This is interesting.

California code here:

11382. No vote cast in the recall election shall be counted for any candidate unless the voter also voted for or against the recall of the officer sought to be recalled.

So, if you mess up question 1, your vote doesn't count in question 2. You also are not considered part of the 50%+1

By my reading of this, those who today said they forgot to vote on question 1 have lost their candidate choice as well.

That code section was overturned by a court. A non-voted Yes/No may still cast a vote for a candidate. I have a link to the court citation somewhere above, on this thread.

WOW!
11382. No vote cast in the recall election shall be counted for any candidate unless the voter also voted for or against the recall of the officer sought to be recalled.

Then all those voters will have been disenfranchised. That is, if Arnold wins.

A judge ruled that you don't have to vote on q1 in order to vote on q2. A judge also ruled that abstentions on q1 count towards the 50% +1 requirement. These decisions were not appealed, to my knowledge.

Oh NO! This means that all of the voters who cannot read will be dis-enfranchised! The Horror!

I'm sure the lawsuits have been readied for takeoff.
