in WI they don't, it's nominally nonpartisan. - znufrii Apr 6, 08:47 10
- For some reason? Maybe because Prosser said he supported Walker? -- nm - mara Apr 6, 08:55 9
  - No, I'm wrong. It wasn't Prosser, it was his campaign manager. And he didn't say he supported Walker, he said Prosser was a "complement" to Walker. -- nm - mara Apr 6, 09:01 8
    - Close enough. Get the pitchforks and torches! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 6, 09:03 7
      - Sounds reasonable. Judges aren't supposed to be compliments to politicians. - Will Hunting Apr 6, 09:06 6

        He's losing cuz there needs to be a target. But actually having part of your team say something so stupid doesn't help -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 6, 09:13 3

        Actually, he's losing by a couple hundred. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 6, 09:16
        
        n/m, just looked at the updated vote counts. -- nm - znufrii Apr 6, 09:15
        
        I think the number of elected positions in the US is ... something. Overwhelming. Unwieldy. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Apr 6, 09:10
That's how you got elected judge in my Texas county - be the Republican. - ty97 Apr 6, 08:47 3
- ditto for Democrats in NYC, the Democratic primary is the de facto election -- nm - znufrii Apr 6, 08:49 2
  - Of course they sometimes elect Republicans as mayor... -- nm - Don Homer Apr 6, 08:50 1
    - go figure... - znufrii Apr 6, 08:52
