'Robo-Calls' Spark Debate Over Justice O'Connor's Support for Ballot Initiative
What began as an amusing story about a technical glitch in some automated phone calls that went out to voters in Nevada has since turned into a discussion of judicial ethics involving retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor and her passionate campaign in favor of judicial election reform. A significant number of Nevada voters received so-called automated "robo-calls" with O’Connor’s voice urging them to support a ballot initiative that would change the way state judges are selected.
