The Pennsylvania legislature is about to return after its summer recess. HB 111 has seventeen sponsors and is considered fairly likely to pass. It would eliminate statewide partisan judicial elections for Superior Court and Commonwealth Court. Those courts would be filled by gubernatorial appointment. The voters would continue to elect State Supreme Court justices on a partisan basis.
The bill amends the state constitution. If it passes, then the voters would be asked to approve the idea.
Elections of ALL judges — no more appointed robot party HACKS/STOOGES.
It seems as soon as the Green Party runs a serious candidate for Superior Court, they want to make the position appointed. At least this will go before voters to be decided. In the mean time, Mermelstein for Judge 2017.
IE — NONPARTISAN nominations and elections for all judges.
