Sorry, but he cannot be on the ballot. The law for this process is quite clear.
Question one. Do you want to recall Gov. Grey Davis? Yes/No
If you say No, end here.
If you say Yes. continue.
Which of these candidates would you like to see replace Gov. Davis?
(list)
End.
Now... if over half of the people who vote say No to question one, Davis stays in office. However, even if 50.01% say Yes and 49.99 say No, then he is irrevocably gone, and whoever got the most votes among the list is immediately governor.
Yes, so if Ahnold gets 25% of the votes, Davis (in the No column) 45%, and other people split the other 30% of the vote, Ahnold is the governor.
Now THAT is a incredibly stupid way to do a election.
