ACLU DIRECTOR EHRLICH TALKS TO PRESS ABOUT CALIFORNIA RECALL, 2003-09-23 (photo)

As ACLU Chief Counsel Mark Rosenbaum looks on, ACLU Executive Director for Northern California Dorothy Ehrlich announces to the press in San Francisco that the ACLU will not appeal the ruling of an 11 judge panel of the Ninth US Circuit Court of Appeals allowing the California recall election set for October 7, 2003, to go ahead as scheduled, September 23, 2003. The panel unanimously overturned a decision by three of its judges last week to postpone the Oct. 7 recall vote until March 2004, when newer technology is scheduled to replace antiquated punch card voting machines.
