North Carolina voters will at the next election vote on whether to amend their state constitution to change the way judicial vacancies are filled.
Currently, North Carolina judges are elected and mid-term vacancies are filled by the governor until the next election.
The proposal would have nominating commission pass its findings to the legislature which would pick two nominees from which the governor must choose.
Perhaps no coincidence that the governor is a Democrat but Republicans hold majorities in the legislature.
