“We saw it … this last election cycle, that it was just a determination clearly just based on a party affiliation, and we saw it in six years ago … but the opposite party getting the benefit. And I think that’s just a bad situation.

From Texas Public Radio:
Texas is one of nine states that picks district court judges with a party ticket vote. And Texas is only one of six states that also selects the justices on its supreme courts and appellate courts with partisan elections. Is there a better way to pick a Texas judge? Some legislators may try to offer new ideas to address that old question.
