I haven't been following this very closely (too many other scandals vie for my attention these days) so this may be a stupid question. But, my impression based on the little I have read is that there are going to be 2 items on the ballot with the first being approval/disapproval of the recall and the second being who is to replace Davis as Gov. So given that the second item would elect a new Governor, how can the Lt. Gov. become Gov.? Doesn't the ballot obviate this possibility?

Barry Freed:

I think what Article II means is that including that second question on the ballot could be legally challenged and disallowed.
