Just noticed that while there was only one candidate on the ballot for State Supreme Court Justice Position #3, in the top two primary in August, there actually were two candidates. I voted for myself in protest, but presumably the top two should have won and moved on. Why is there only one candidate on the November ballot? Mary Fairhurst is here, but Michael Bond is gone. Why? I did a quick Google, but didn’t find anything.
Anyway, I already voted for myself as a protest since there was only one person on the ballot.
Ah… I found it. There is a minimum percentage of the vote threshold to move on to the General election, even if you come in second. Mr. Bond did not meet that threshold. That sucks. If you are going to do a top two thing, number two should get on the general election ballot, even if they only got 1 vote. With some way to deal with ties of course.
Oh well.
