San Francisco and
Bay Area voters were unique among Californians when they overwhelmingly
rejected the recall of Governor Gray Davis on October 7, 2003. The special
election led to the removal of Davis from the governor's office by a statewide
result of 55% in favor of the recall, 45% against. The San Francisco figures
were 20% in favor of ousting Davis, 80% against. Terminator film star Arnold
Shwarzenegger, the successful recall candidate, was sworn in on
November 17, 2003. Shwarzenegger's signature and hand print are seen here
at the defunct Planet Hollywood
restaurant on Stockton Street.
