4. Bradley Effect was caused by a gun control Ballot question

NPR had a good story about the California election that created the term Bradley effect. The people involved said there was sloppy polling, so the pollster created the Bradley effect term to cover up his screwup. It was a ballot question about gun control that caused the loss - because it resulted in unexpectedly high turnout from rural Republican areas of the State. That is similar to what happened to Kerry in Ohio in 2004.
