Question? Are we really getting the best judges or are we getting the judges that we know the best?

If that person happens to be sitting on the board, I still want that choice. This is one more way to eliminate the best people we have. If someone does want to judge our National, they should not run for the board. Now we have lost another chance for our best person to represent us on the board. Why not let those who want to vote, have the choice to vote who they want? If you don't want to elect a sitting board member to judge our National, don't. But, why is it that the rest of those speaking up, want to eliminate our chance to vote for whom we want? If you don't like a board member judging, just don't vote for him/her. But, stop telling me what I have to do, or can't do. Elections should be for free choice, not limited selections. I don't tell you who you can't vote for, leave me alone and stop telling me who I can't vote for. For some reason some people keep wanting to limit the rights of others. I just don't understand that type of thinking. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
