Let the election games begin

The wisdom of electing judges, rather than appointing them, has been debated annually at every law school in the country. But here in Nevada, we're secure in the knowledge that our electorate will choose the best judicial candidate (likely based on the number of signs that candidate can afford to put up around town).

And next year will be a wide open election for the bench:

All 41 judicial seats, plus two state Supreme Court seats, will be open - and some are expected to be hotly contested. Six seats are being added to ease the mounting caseload - of which five will be based at the county's Family Court.

Let the mudslinging begin because nothing evidences the wisdom of Solomon better than negative campaigning.
