Former justice O'Connor urges changes in judicial elections
Former justice O'Connor urged changes in judicial elections at the Humphrey Institute. The event was cosponsored by the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance.
O'Connor told an audience at the Humphrey Institute that this state should not take its impartial judiciary for granted.
"Here in Minnesota, the judicial election system has not yet had the kind of problems that we see in other states," she said. "This is good news because what it means is that you have time to make some changes that are careful, well-considered and deliberate to avoid that kind of problem in the future. It's already on your border in Wisconsin."
