Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: 1. B
- Open primaries are partisan, it's just that you don't have to be a registered member of a party to vote in them. Federal judges are appointed not elected. D makes no sense.

2. A
- Denial of the chance for a non-wealthy person to be elected is the major reason why some call for public financing of campaigns, caps on campaign spending, and tougher campaign finance laws. Also look at news reports about how most of the people elected to Congress are millionaires.
