Good News! Alaska figured out the best way to do it:

https://public.courts.alaska.gov/web/forms/docs/pub-28.pdf

TLDR: A merit based process where candidates are rated by whomever wants to take the time to rate them (mostly lawyers), then a round of interviews with a judicial council (made up of three members of the public and three members of the Bar), judicial council considers scores and interview performance, eliminates lacking candidates (Chief Justice of the Alaska Supreme Court is tiebreaker if council is split on whether to eliminate a candidate), then advances remaining names to the governor who must pick one of the remaining candidates unless there are less than three candidates, in which case the process starts all over. Appointed judges have to face retention elections every few years, where their name is literally put on the November ballot and if they get less that 50% approval they get removed. This applies to all appointed judges, even those on the appellate courts.

The duck fart thing is funny because nobody is going to the bar to drink duck farts, it's a party shot, like you order a round for the group and everyone takes it together. So my assumption is that Alaskan tastes are so diverse that a party shot gets the top slot. Also, I'm pretty sure it's mainly a Southeast Alaska thing, so I wonder how they collected their data and if it mostly came from bars in Southeast.

Thanks I'm feeling quite better now, a bit faster than last time, which is good. But yeah, really trying not to have anxiety attacks about long covid. :-/

Many don't want to hear it but there are human beings with broken brains who WILL harm and kill others if given the chance and cannot be rehabilitated

And only a handful are my wrecker bit accounts - I gotta boost those numbers

Considering that ranch was invented in the Mat-Su Valley of Alaska, the Northern hub of reactionary shitheads, I'd say you're right.

You dummies don't have ranked choice voting?
