[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]90% of the candidates on the ballot today in Maryland I hadn't heard of and another 90% I don't know what the roles are. Why are these elected positions instead of appointed? [/quote] Because the people should have a say in their leadership, vs a patronage system?[/quote] But isn't it better to have, say, the governor, appoint these people since they have an idea who they are and what the job entails, while 90%+ of us have no idea? That happens in the Federal system. Like why am I voting for a judge in Maryland? The president appoints all federal judges. [/quote]
