In this essay‚ I will explain why Texas should retain the partisan election of judges. Texas is one of the few states that choose their judges using a Partisan voting method. Partisan elections can be unreliable and deceitful. A high legal position such as a judge should never be chosen in such a manner. Judges are not chosen based on merit or skills.
