(41,008 posts)I can't find anything at the moment. Since the election the first few pages of Google search are all about the win.
However, the evening before the election I heard Erin Burnett on CNN going on & on about "Why are we having this recall? Elections have consequences & if you don't like your new officials, then you wait until election day & boot them out then." That was very loosely paraphrased, but she spent a good 5 minutes harping on this message. The next day on DU there were a few threads where people said it had been an ongoing campaign since almost the start. I believe it was funded by the right wing. I will continue to look for a link.
The thing is, it's all things combined that dirty our elections - the lying phone calls & postcards saying you don't have to vote, the complicit & compromised media, purging voter rolls of people who may be minorities or democratic voters, paperless voting, encouraging apathy with commentaries like Burnett's.
