I was traveling yesterday so I was not aware that the 9th District Appeals court had postponed the California Recall until late today. The reason behind it is very interesting - they felt like the election would disenfranchise as many as 40k voters because punch card ballots are error prone.

It seems strange that they cannot hold an election because punch card ballots are too inaccurate. It seems that by this same logic, the result of all prior elections using said ballots should also be invalidated (which would include 2000 and 2002). I guess it is important to protect the rights of those who might not be able to vote accurately by denying all citizens of the state the opportunity to cast a ballot.
