This recall began gaining momentum within weeks of the reelection of Governor Davis. Yet essentially nothing changed, except that a coverup inevitably ended when the new budget had to come out.Obviously that reelection was an error of the system, an institutional failure. My question is one of general principle:
What institution should have behaved differently, and how should that institution be reformed?To say that it's the voters' fault is to beg the question of why the voters made the error.
No, it isn't the voters' fault--either:
The choices the voters were presented with implicates both the Democratic and Republican parties in malfeasance or,Just like the information which journalism gave the voters of the Florida Panhandle before their polls were closed in 2000 was flawed. And just like the economic information the Clinton Commerce Department deceived the entire country in 2000.the information with which the Davis Administration and journalism gave the voters was inadequate or even deceptive.
