Critics of the Missouri Plan, led and financed by local and national conservative legal groups, have formed an independent expenditure group to advocate alternative judicial selection provisions, purchased billboards and other advertising throughout the state, and unsuccessfully pressured the sitting Republican governor (who recently announced that he will not seek re-election in November) to reject lists of nominees sent to him by the Appellate Judicial Commission for a state supreme court vacancy last year.

Given advances in technology, future attacks could be worse.
