Why then, out of nearly 60 judgeship positions, are there 28 with no opposition that are on the ballot? It seems as if voters now have to select candidates who won already. This takes time. Why are such candidates even on the ballot? Seems like a lot of bureaucracy and wasted time in the voting booth.
