Flyer Conjures CdA Recall Attempt

I had the strangest flyer taped to my front window this morning. Maybe someone taped it there Sunday. But I didn't see it until this morning. It focused on the county and legislative candidates in Coeur d'Alene who did or did not support RecallCDA. No organization was listed as responsible for the flyer. It seemed to focus on Republican Luke Malek (pictured), who, according to the flyer "declined to sign and placed his campaign signs on properties owned by people opposing the recall." Also, the flyer noted, that Democrat Janet Callen, Luke's opponent, also did not sign the petitions. But "Constitution Party candidate for that seat, Ray Writz, proudly signed the recall petitions." The flyer didn't say whether its backers supported or opposed the recall. But I'd guess that the backers supported the recall and Writz. (See attached flyer).

Question: Would the recall attempt earlier this year influence your vote for or against a candidate?
