Our elections are popularity contests...not searches for competency.

At the local level, it's not even that.  I have no idea who the eff the clerk of the peace is or who the coroner is and what I might think of them personally.  I think most people just vote by if there is a D or R next to your name, for most positions and many are not bipartisan and only vote all R or all D.
