Gore Joins Davis to Urge 'No' Vote in Calif. Recall

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Former Vice President Al Gore, whose contested defeat in the 2000 White House race has become a rallying cry for California Democrats, joined Gov. Gray Davis on Friday in urging rejection of the Republican-led campaign to oust him.

Gore's appearance with Davis at a voter-registration rally in a predominantly black neighborhood of south Los Angeles capped a week that also saw former President Bill Clinton spent two days campaigning with Davis to help the governor keep his job.

It also came as the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed to reconsider its controversial decision to postpone the Oct. 7 recall election.

A three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit ruled earlier this week that the recall should be delayed until March because older, error-prone punch-card ballots still used in some counties would effectively disenfranchise some voters.

If the recall challenge reaches the U.S. Supreme Court, it would mark the first major test of the decision that halted the recount of Florida ballots in 2000, ending that bitterly contested race in a victory for George W. Bush. (snip/...)
