Asked by Wiki User

Yesterday some were driving around in a Lexus and a few were stuck with their two or three year old Mercedes. At least one is hitting the trail northbound on Interstatete 25 through Colorado at high speeds iin a late model silver Porche. Most American Indians are seen in an earlier Model Rord F-150 pickup in Oklahoma, New Meixco, Colorado or Arizona.

If you intended your question to refer to a time before combustion engines then in the 1600's travel was by foot or by river, everyone had horses by 1850 when the train became the big people mover. Air travel became the prime mover by 1960 and while almost everyone exceopt Forrest Gump including Native Americans fly, a few still to walk around the mall.

Does Delaware allow voters to recall the governor?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It means a petition is made by voters to dismiss the Governor and hold a new election.

This has happened twice:

1921 - Lynn Frazier of North Dakota was recalled in the midst of a dispute over state owned industries

2003 - Gray Davis of California was recalled due to arguments over the budget and criticisms of his campaigning

In addition, there was a successful recall petition against Evan Mecham of Arizona due to his habit of making racially insensitive comments and allegations of corruption. However, he was impeached and dismissed by the legislature before the recall came into effect.
