“Consider the “Bradley effect”— coined after Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley lost his 1982 mayoral race despite being ahead in the polls leading up to the election. For fear of retribution from the politically correct media, white voters told pollsters they were either voting for the black candidate or undecided. As always, the ballot box was honest. They didn’t re-elect Tom Bradley! They lied! “
It was for the 1982 governor race in California, not any mayoral race. Makes me wonder about the author’s grasp on facts.
