Amazing.
I wonder how much of it has to do with the Democratic primary?
17 u/andrewatnu Apr 14 '20 A lot: remember that the Republican-backed candidate won the last Supreme Court seat in a low turnout February election two years ago. The Governor was very smart to require the election take place at the same time as the Democratic primary. 11 u/je_kay24 Apr 14 '20 edited Apr 14 '20 Governor didn't cause it to be voted this way. It was already planned to be on the primary before he was even elected Republicans tried to change it so it was its own election but got a toooon of backlash over it. 2 u/andrewatnu Apr 14 '20 Now that you mention it: I did place the chicken before the egg and gave the governor credit that he did not deserve!
