Recall news Much of the news today
is about yesterday's rally (for example, see this
article). You can find this Q&A raising some open legal issues as
though they have been resolved here.
This very interesting Los Angeles Times article
discusses how candidate strategies will differ with recall rules compared
to normal election rules. Susan Rasky has a fascinating oped
along similar lines in the newspaper. In the same issue, Leon Panetta offers
"This
is Direct Democracy Running Amok."
"How to Vote? Let Us Count the Ways"
This
New York Times article talks about Arrow's theorem and agenda
setting in elections in the context of a potential move in New York City
to nonpartisan elections.
