Yes
No
Those who voted 'No' are now finished.. their vote is against the recall. They may not all be for Davis, but the are definately not FOR Arnold. 46% have voted 'No'
Those who voted 'Yes' are then divided amongst the REST of the candidates.
Arnold has 48% of those votes, which is only about 26-27% of the total if my math is vaguely correct.
Now, I could be going about this all wrong because the NUMBERS don't make sense.
The number of people who voted for the recall is signifigantly less than the total of votes for the recall candidates.
It's becoming aparent to me that the people who voted 'No' also filled out the second ballot and submitted it.

That's not how it worked. Even if you voted 'no' on the recall, you still got to vote on which candidate you wanted in the event the recall passed. Obviously there were a fair number of people that voted 'no' on the recall, but then went on to vote for Arnold or McClintock.

They voted for a strong person because they wanted a strong change.
Good luck to a place I called home for one of the decades of my life!
