America and its sequels are by John Wagner. You might be thinking of The Devil You Know / Twilight's Last Gleaming, which were by Garth Ennis and about a referendum on democracy. If I recall correctly Wagner was a bit annoyed by Ennis and that thought the story didn't go far enough because he would have had the Judges lose and then have to deal with the repercussions. Its supposedly one of the reasons why Wagner came back to write for Dredd after taking a hiatus for years, to sort-of course correct. Ennis himself deeply regrets a lot of his 2000AD work, because he thinks he fanboyed too hard and without enough skill.

Dredd is usually tough but fair, but even he frequently struggles with the system as a whole despite being created from scratch to be the system's ultimate enforcer.

Don't know why the picture dropped.
