It’s just funny that buying the bench was fine until the Democrats started to do it.

Here’s the REALLY obvious part - they only want do away with electing judges in counties with more than 500,000 people. Small rural counties can keep on voting for THEIR judges.

“Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., introduced a bill this week that would significantly narrow the scope of the program. It would remove hundreds of areas that the original legislation allowed to benefit from the break even though they were not poor, including the two areas of Detroit and Baltimore that ProPublica identified. It would also vastly increase the reporting requirements for those taking advantage of the break and narrow the kinds of investments that would be eligible to receive it.”

That's the only way Repubs can win. That and serious gerrymandering.

I hope that demographics are on the Democrats’ side in 2020, that we absolutely blow the doors off the GOP and add “fixing gerrymandering and voter suppression to the voluminous list of things that need to be fixed.
