 Sorry to disappoint you but if you check state-wde election results you'll find a 30% undervote in a single-person race is very low. In fact of all the people running for DA in the state in 2006 it was the lowest percentage of undervote.
In 2002 your tax dollars paid for a defense lawyer's attempt to move the Anthony Garner trial out of county (it didn't and he was convicted and sentenced to life without parole) An expensive out of town polling firm asked 500 randomly selected citizens if 1) They had an opinion about the DA, Josh Marquis? and if they answered yes, 2) Was their opinion that he did an a) excellent, b) good, c) fair, or d) poor job. About 75% had an opinion and of that group 76% rated my performance as DA as "excellent" or "good." 9% rated my performance as "poor."
If I was doing such a horrible job it should have been easy to find someone to run against me (the DA's job pays about $6000 less than Circuit Judge).
I am the kind of Democrat who beleives in taking individual positions on individual issues. I'm pro-choice and pro-capital punishment, for example.
