Patty Nolan seems to feel she is already a shoo-in for this upcoming election. Although her title "Clerk of the Superior Court" sounds like a clerical job, voters should understand the importance of the office. Margret DeFrank certainly seems to possess the education, experience and necesssary skills for the position. What qualifies Patty Nolan other than she has been successful in staying in the job each election year? The job title is confusing and it is easier for voters to assume the incumbent should stay in office. The results might have been different if Ms. Nolan were held to judicial performance standards - on a merit and retention system. After reading your article and the comments made in response, I don't see that she is effectively managing the administrative responsibilities of her office. It seems a good time for a change.
