      Yeah I realized it this election. The primaries was actually very interesting in choices and candidates.

      The actual midterm ballot was milquetoast in choices and recommendations. The props were way more interesting than seeing yet another “do I choose moderate democrat who will change npthojg or MAGA republican?”. The last 3 pages was just judges, and not even a choice: just " do you think this judge should retain their position? ".

      It’s crazy more people don’t take primaries seriously

        California? Because the ballot sounds familiar.

        With the judges though I think it was just coincidence as there are still elections that all is to decide. These were because those judges term was going up and we were asked if the judge should be continue to hold the office for another term.

        I personally think that the governor should appoint judges, the Senate should confirm them and we should be able to vote them out (majority vote) in case they abuse their position.

        I think that voting out could be good for federal judges and SCOTUS as well.
