In an Aug. 7 "Explainer" on the California recall, Ed Finn incorrectly stated that Sen. Diane Feinstein would not be able to choose her own successor to the Senate if she were to run in the gubernatorial election and win. In fact, according to California Election Code 11720, Feinstein could select her replacement. That person would then serve until the next general election, in November 2004.
