I remember in college I wrote a 10+ page paper called La caída de la "d" intervocálica. If I remember right, it's so prevalent in some parts of the Americas because a large percentage of the Spaniards who came to the New World came from the poorer region of Andalucía, where the letter d between vowels either disappeared entirely or was almost non-existent in pronunciation.
