According to this story, the Ohio Senate has amended the budget bill to add a provision for party labels on the November ballot for State Supreme Court races.
Ohio elects its Supreme Court justices in candidate-versus-candidate elections. Parties nominate for that office, yet the party label is not shown in general elections. Ironically, some years ago the Ohio Democratic Party brought a federal lawsuit, demanding party labels, which lost. But in recent State Supreme Court elections, Democratic nominees have been winning, so now the Republican-majority legislature has changed its mind about party labels.
The only other state in which State Supreme Court judicial candidates are party nominees, but the party labels are omitted, is Michigan.

Some COA judges get picked at D/R extremist conventions – later elected.
