For the slate where you can select up to seven out of seven. Are there seven judges at the end? Or they’re picking the top-voted four or three or whatever? Put differently, does voting on these do anything?
There are seven judges in the end, so all seven will get their seats regardless of how you vote. Technically voting can do some things, like give more votes to the fusion parties (you'll see some judges are listed under several parties), but it will not alter who wins.
I had never seen fusion voting before moving to NYC, and until today I didn't know it was called fusion voting. Super helpful!
Also re: ballot props and California, that was my reaction exactly 😂
