Will fill out my ballot soon. Here is my strategy.

I am voting all non-maga GOP, and if the GOP candidate is MAGA, I am voting democrat.

Wonder how many Republicans I will be voting for?

I have, in the past, voted for a republican judge or two. Local positions. Not right now though. If the republicans regain power, they will manipulate any non maga rep to suit their agenda.
Every republican is suspect, or easy.

@Carla So many judicial elections involve candidates running unopposed that I wonder why judgeships are subject to voting anyway.

@RedBaron appointment is suspect, i think. An unopposed candidate seems like a public nod.

@Carla But if candidates are appointed to a ballot to run unopposed, what’s the difference?

@RedBaron i don't think they are in michigan

@Carla Then how do they get nominated?

I live in NYC, where the Republican Party barely exists, so you often see the same judicial candidates running simultaneously in the Democratic, Republican, Conservative, and Working Families (formerly Liberal) columns.

In the future, I'll only consider a candidate who did NOT endorse Trump in 2024.

And I'd be suspect about most who did in 2016 and/or 2020 and then didn't come out against him in 2024.

It's pretty much now inconceivable that I'd vote for a Republican presidential candidate in 2028 or in the decade past that. Just about any Republican with a chance of winning the nomination is a Trumpet.
