There is something wrong, in the election of Justices.
This is the only statewide office, that is NOT in the general elections in November.
Why select the longest term postition, voters offer, in the election with the least voter turnout?
I am sure WMC has 3.2Million answers for that question.
We need a simple law that requires any statewide or federal office to be elected in the November general elections. We have them every two years, and they can easily fit the Supreme Court on those ballots.
This office deserves to be placed in the election that repsects it's authority, not to make it easier to win.
Gableman won. But with only 12% of the states entire registered voters participating.
The 12% Justice.
I find that a bit insulting to the office of a Supreme Court Justice.
Change the election date to the first tuesday, after the first Monday, in November.
Our highest court deserves the highest potential voter participation.
