Judges who run for re-election unopposed (most do) and still can't win are a special kind of fucked up.
Did you mean to display your ignorance on the retention and selection process of the Iowa Supreme Court justices? Or was that an accident? Also, thanks for letting everyone know that you didn't read the article IOW: They always run unopposed. And it's not an election. It's a retention.
It's an election. They lost. Only Federal and Supreme Court judges are imposed on the system for life.
Lesson to liberals and progressives, like the billionaires can't buy elections limosine liberals can't set your agenda.
