Flutterby™! : CA recall postponed

Well, I've already sent in my absentee ballot, but the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has issued a decision postponing the October 7^th recall election. From the summary decision:

Plaintiffs allege that the use of obsolete voting systems in some counties rather than others will deny voters equal protection of the laws in violation of the United States Constitution. They seek to postpone the vote until the next regularly scheduled statewide election six months from now, when the Secretary of State has assured that all counties will be using acceptable votinbg equipment, and all the polls will be open. We agree that the issuance of a preliminary injunction is warranted and reverse the order of the district court.

Full text. And so the circus goes on.
