In some cases its going on now. Powerful special intrest-groups are finally meeting some resistance.
They are trying to get popular-support by confusing the issues and what really is at stake. One example is the currently-contested state supreme court Justice-election in Wisconsin.
Liberal intrest groups claimed victory by a 200 vote margin....and then it was found the an entire districts votes had not been counted...at all!...A recount will surely be done, as it stands now with the "missing" votes added....the liberals lost by 7,000 votes. (but don't expect them to accept it gracefully.)
The former govener raided all kinds of accounts to steal cash to support his agenda's. He's the same one that said if the carry-law passed, he would use veto. I believe the direction of "Poltitical-winds" is a-changing.
I've told many, "If you don't like what happens in government...vote your mind in all elections. Every election!"...Usually voter turnout for elections of Justices are very small, but the power wielded by opinions from those Justices shape how laws are interperted...
