ACLU lawyers gave their reaction to the federal appeals court decision allowing the October 7 California gubernatorial recall election to proceed. A judge had earlier ruled that the election must be postponed until all California counties were equipped with new electronic voting machines. The attorneys criticized the court’s decision, arguing that the use of punch card voting machines in some counties could disenfranchise voters.
