The Contra Costa Times offers this report.
Wired offers this
report, concerning controversy over Diebold documents related to

Roll Call offers this
article
(paid subscription required), which begins: "If outgoing Sen. Peter
Fitzgerald’s (R-Ill.) experience is any guide, retiring old campaign
debts appears to be more difficult than retiring from the Senate
itself. And campaign finance experts say the business of settling debts
for self-financed candidates will get even stickier under provisions of
the new campaign finance law."
The New York Times features this
front page report.
Last
Saturday, UC Berkeley's Institute for Governmental Studies held a
conference on the recall. It was at this conference that Attorney
General Bill Lockyer made the remarks about voting for Schwarzenegger
on part 2 of the recall ballot. The conference's web page now
has links to a webcast of portions of the conference, as well as other
valuable links.
