Two things at a glance

First, the lead looks too short.

Second, you need to include the context of the disruption of mail ballots for the voter suppression allegations. Here's a couple articles [1] [2] that could be useful. --Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 23:21, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, isn't a GA premature until the replacements are elected? --Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 23:36, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Replacements were elected at the time of the recall. I'll get that into the article along with what you suggested. GregJackP Boomer! 23:49, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think that should take care of the issues you pointed out. GregJackP Boomer! 01:54, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

...and I caught a new one. Source 45 is an op-ed from the recall's organizers dressed up as an article. I'd look for a better source to verify its claims. --Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 02:15, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

...Rewriting to parrot The O'Rilley Factor isn't much of an improvement. --Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 17:48, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'll see if I can find something else. GregJackP Boomer! 19:06, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I replaced it with a cite to a Denver Post editorial. GregJackP Boomer! 23:11, 15 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
