9th Circuit Refuses to Delay Recall Election

A three judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals today refused to delay the Oct. 7 recall vote.

The Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund had filed suit, charging that the county's plan to eliminate more than 100 polling places and cut the number of bilingual poll workers would disenfranchise Latino voters.

But the three-judge panel, with one Democratic and two Republican appointees, refused to block the vote.
