Before the successful recall of Gray Davis, no California statewide official had ever been recalled, though there had been 117 previous attempts.
Only seven of those even made it onto the ballot, all for state legislators.
Every governor since Ronald Reagan in 1968 has been subject to a recall effort, but Gray Davis was the first governor whose opponents gathered the necessary signatures to qualify for a special election.
Gray Davis also faced a recall petition in 1999, but that effort failed to gain enough signatures to qualify for the ballot.
The 1999 recall effort was prompted by several actions taken by Gray Davis, including: Davis's preventing the enactment of Proposition 187, by keeping it from being appealed to the US Supreme Court ; also, Davis signed two new highly restrictive gun-control laws.
