Appeals Court to Reconsider Calif. Recall Vote


September 16, 2003

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals said on Tuesday that it would reconsider a controversial decision by a three-judge panel of the court to postpone the Oct. 7 California recall election.

The appeals court said that a fuller group of judges than the three-judge panel that ruled on the case on Monday would rehear it.

The three-judge panel delayed the unprecedented October recall vote against Gov. Gray Davis, saying punch card voting machines still used in six California counties had an unacceptably high rate of error.

A clerk at the 9th Circuit said the judges had voted to hold an en banc hearing of 11 judges to reconsider the case and had asked for lawyers to file briefs on the issue.
