Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Rep. Candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger Overwhelmingly Elected to Replace Dem. Gray Davis As California Gov.

HeadlineOct 08, 2003

Californians last night voted by a 54 to 46 percent margin to recall Gov. Gray Davis just 11 months into his second term and overwhelmingly elect Republican actor Arnold Schwarzenegger to replace him.

Davis is the first California governor to be recalled and only the second in the nation’s history after North Dakota’s Lynn Frazier in 1921.

Schwarzenegger easily won the vote to replace Davis with 48 percent. Democratic Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante finished second with 32 percent. We’ll have on the recall in a few minutes.
