California: Recall Signaure Drive Surges Ahead

• Latest tally of signatures is nearly double the figure just last week. Backers plan a holiday push, while foes tout their own petition.

Voting officials in California counties have received about 695,000 signatures supporting the recall of Gov. Gray Davis, according to a tally of results compiled Thursday by The Times.

If verified as the valid signatures of registered voters, they would represent about 75% of the 897,158 needed to force a recall election.

Thursday's figure is nearly double the official tally of 376,000 reported by the California secretary of state June 23.

Supporters of the recall say they have already sent 988,088 signatures to county registrars, bringing recall backers closer to their goal of 1.3 million signatures. The latter number would qualify the recall for a ballot without the need for a long and expensive hand-count by county registrars and would preclude legal challenges from opponents.
