Title

"Recall Elections" radio episode

Description

An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin on recall elections. AuCoin asserts that while recall elections are an important component of democracy, they can be abused when politicians are unjustly put up for a recall election. He specifically mentions California Governor Gray Davis' recall election, and mentions how conservative republicans of California also agree that recall election can lead to political instability. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired in 2002-2003.
