If the recall yes vote is 50%+1 then does the law require the replacement governor to get 50%+1 of the candidate votes or just a majority?

For Davis to be recalled the YES must be over 50%.

Just that he/she have more votes that their opponants. with ~130 candidates the winner could be the new gubbner with 2% of the votes cast.

No. The replacement candidate need only get the most votes of those cast for a candidates, regardless of the margin for the recall question. Early on in the race, it was assumed that someone could win with as little as 15-20% of the vote.

It looks like Arnold may end up in the mid-40's.
