Crafty politicians of the “handpicked” stripe, like Reeves Aylmore and Fred Seixas and the other anti-recallers, are only aiming to pile up extra, unnecessary expense to the taxpayers by these dilatory tactics. They cannot hope to prevent the election in the end. And they won't stop it. HAMILTON WILL HAVE TO DANCE TO RECALL MUSIC. LET NO ONE FORGET THAT.
