That's the number of presidential candidates on my ballot this year to vote for? 23 if you count the write in line.

I don't think I've ever seen that many presidential candidates on a ballot before

Not to mention the rest of the ballot. Good thing we get mail in and I can sit and do homework. A lot of judges to vote for this go around too. I hate trying to research judges. It's hard. So if anyone has a good website or tool to read up on them (I'm in Colorado) that would be helpful. Otherwise I search their name and then try to read cases they've ruled on.

This is insane. Are they doing it just to see their names on a presidential ballot? I bet their friends and family aren't even voting for them

I know most people don't vote for judges. Too bad because it's really important. But it's hard to know who to vote for without putting in the work.
