Marx said the effort to change the judicial selection system in Nevada is part of an outside effort by liberal political activist George Soros who Marx said wants lawyers to select judges, not voters.


A National Group Against Judicial Appointments Releases Poll Showing Most Voters Opposed To Switch In Nevada

CARSON CITY – A national group that supports judicial restraint is opposing a measure on the Nevada ballot to change the way judges are selected from direct elections to appointment and retention.

The Judicial Crisis Network also presented a survey of Nevada voters’ views on the change that shows a majority oppose the idea of appointing instead of electing members of the state Supreme court.

The automated survey of just over 1,400 voters conducted Oct. 4 showed 51 percent in opposition, 30 percent in favor and 19 percent undecided.

Seventy-one percent of those responding said Supreme Court justices should be elected, 23 percent said appointed and 6 percent said it would make no difference. The survey was conducted by Magellan Strategies for the group and has a margin of error of 2.6 percent.

The survey also shows that only 9 percent believe the Supreme Court is doing a poor job, with the remainder in the excellent, good, fair or don’t know categories.

Gary Marx, executive director of the Judicial Crisis Network, said this response raises the question of why a change is needed in Nevada.

“Usually when someone is proposing that there is a constitutional amendment there is some crisis at hand, some important issue that hangs in the balanceâ€
