Special Election to fill the vacant California U.S. House CD 48 caused by the
2 August 2005 resignation of Congressman Christopher Cox to become Chairman of
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

"If a candidate receives more than 50% of the vote in the Tuesday 4 October
2005 election, that candidate is elected. If no candidate receives a majority,
the top vote getter from each party will compete in a Tuesday 6 
December 2005 runoff."

Since no candidate received a majority, the top vote getters from each party
will compete in a Tuesday 6 December 2005 runoff:

John Campbell (Republican) - 46.0%
Jim Gilchrist (American Independent) - 14.4%
Steve Young (Democrat) - 8.9%
Béa Tiritilli (Green) - 0.9%
