[EL] US Dist Court strikes down limited voting in Indiana

[William Groth]

The voting in judicial elections in Marion County is indeed "limited," so
limited in fact that there are 16 candidates nominated (8 by each political
party) to fill 16 vacancies, a limitation so unreasonable that it convinced
the federal judge these strictures violated the voters' right to cast a
meaningful ballot. I don't think this comports with anyone's view of how
"limited voting" is supposed to work.

To me the two terms mean the same thing, but now that you mention it, I
guess this is two different ideas, and I'm not sure what the standard
definition covers.

Richard,  Does this a system include limited voting, or just limited
nominations?
