03:08, 19 May 2006 (UTC) I would rename this page - special election musical chairs, the MADNESS nomenclature smacks of partisanship.
Hank chapot 03:28, 19 May 2006 (UTC) I renamed this page because madness is a faux clinical term, and though pertinent, is really not that understandable.

Someone made the change from Frank Russo to John Russo, believing that there was a mistake. It's not a mistake, and they are not the same person. Frank Russo is an Oakland lawyer who ran for the State Assembly in the February 1999 special election. John Russo is the current Oakland City Attorney who is currently (June 2006) running for the State Assembly -- ironically in the same district. They are not the same person (although they are both Democrats), and it was a source of some confusion when I walked precincts for Frank.
Even if everything alleged in this article is true, then the article's language must be changed to present it in a neutral point of view.— Markles 20:17, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
The writing on this page reads more like an informal narration then a reference article. It should be written. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.21.183.34 ( talk) 05:28, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
I can't see why this series of local elections from a decade ago merits any sort of article. In themselves, these events were a minor part of the careers of several local politicians, only one of whom went on to be a signifigant figure in the state of California. The only justification for this article perhaps would be if it lived up to its billing as a general article on the politics and consequences of multiple special elections. However, except for a one-sentence definition it is entirely about a single "example". I don't see any real context or relevance to any larger issue which would merit an article. chiwito ( talk) 06:34, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
I think this is a notable article because it illustrates the concept very well. —Preceding

There has just been another example of this, in California’s Assembly district 1. The election on Nov. 5 2019 was the fifth in a series of elections begun a year ago.
