That's wrong. Candidates (mostly) are not running independently, they run as parties' nominees. Who is nominating them should be written on the ballot.

And they're free to include that information in the pamphlet of positions and statements that comes with your ballot.

I wouldn't want any additional material coming with my ballot.

Well I'm not sure how it's done in Italy, but California absentee ballots always come with a voter information guide. I'm not sure what's wrong with that.

Well in Italy to my knowledge the only people who vote "absentee" are Italians living abroad, who are sent mail ballots complete of voter instructions etc. by the government.
Also, in Italy it's mostly open party-list proportional representation, so a different ballgame.

If you're so uninformed about the elections you are voting in that you don't even know what party the candidates are in, perhaps your ignorant ass should not be voting.  Which is why it makes sense that most Dems and Pubs would be against it, they prefer an ignorant voter.

You realize that my ballot usually has sixty-odd races on it, over half of which are various judge candidates? My memory isn't THAT good.

Tbf if anything that just means there are too many elected positions. Stuff like idk; land comissioner or whatever is stuff that should be appointed by the governor, not elected

JUDGES
Electing judges is so weird.
