"Chief justice seeks to abolish judicial elections; Jefferson says politics, money have destroyed Texans' confidence in justice"

"Chief justice seeks to abolish judicial elections; Jefferson says politics, money have destroyed Texans' confidence in justice": Chuck Lindell has this article today in The Austin American-Statesman. The newspaper also contains an editorial entitled "Retooling Texas' judiciary: Chief Justice Wallace Jefferson of the Texas Supreme Court warned the legislature that the U.S. Supreme Court may soon force it to change how state judges are selected."

The Daily Texan reports today that "Chief justice advocates election changes; Jefferson proposes appointment of judges based on qualifications."

And The Associated Press provides a report headlined "Jefferson: Change judicial selection system."
