It shouldn't be that surprising. OP already mentioned the historical aspect. But look at the result of the opposing theory of appointment in practice at the fed level, SCOTUS and the executive cabinet. It all seems to have the same result. Nut-jobs vote local fascists into positions of local power, be it mayor, counsel, sheriff, justice. Also nut-jobs vote for executive and Congressional fascists who appoint and confirm nut-job cabinets and justices. Thanks for attending my Tedtalk about nut-jobs.

Basically I agree. I'm not super familiar with how it works elsewhere but here in California, and I actually learned this with upcoming midterms, the state justices are governor appointed, state senate approved, and voter approved every 12 yrs or whatever the term is. Seems like a reasonable process honestly.
