I only vote in the venue in which I have participated, and THEN only if I
know a judge. Last year, I knew a herding judge, didn't vote, though. But
the same goes for conformation judges. How many people vote for judges that
they have never seen judge? Only know by reputation or maybe a friend's word.
I wonder if it would be to unwieldy to have judges nominated for specific
classes: i.e., Intersex gets 4 judges nominated, dogs, 4, bitches 4. and
then
petitions would be directed toward the specific class. That would eliminate
the weighted ballot, which I believe does skew the results, and give members
a choice for the 'class' they would like their nominee to judge. When I
voted the weighted ballot, I did that, put the person that I 'would have'
preferred up there on top, but it negates the vote, really.
I think to restrict the vote to only the National attending or exhibiting
would be terribly discriminating. Perhaps a person (like I) could only attend
a
National every 5 years, or even once in a lifetime, yet is just as excited,
educated, concerned about the pick of judges as those that go every year. We
are members, after all.
