Decision ’94 / SPECIAL GUIDE TO CALIFORNIA’S ELECTIONS
SLATE MAILERS
The week before the Nov. 8 election, millions of so-called slate mailers will be sent to voters throughout California. The mailers, often purporting to be “official guides” to voting, sometimes are compiled by legitimate organizations nd reflect their endorsements. But many of these mailes are organized as profit-making ventures by political consultants and the slots are sold to candidates.
