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.
