Two of the Arizona Supreme Court justices who voted to reimpose the state's 1864 abortion law will be up for retention in November.

Sadly, a lot of voters have historically not paid much attention to down-ballot elections.

Something tells me that's about to change.

Here in Oklahoma, it is near impossible to find the judgement history of judges on the ballot. I wish local news investigators would publish this information.

@rbreich Hopefully they're not running unopposed.

@rbreich Time to send those judges to the unemployment office.

@rbreich Plus, though judicial elections are "nonpartisan" it doesn't take much research to figure out what beliefs judges will bring with them if elected.

@rbreich I think voters across the country are paying more attention to down ballot races now. People are finally realizing what complacency has cost them.

I think you can bet your house on that.

@rbreich
I didn't start paying attention to judicial candidates until after 2016, that's for sure. 😕 A major problem, though, is that those judges who are subject to elections are frequently permanently incumbent because there are few challengers (at least in my state).

@rbreich Looking at their names, I think there’s an easy portmanteau-ish tagline to get voters to remember: Stop the BolicKing war on women!

@rbreich If the two are bounced and Gov can replace them, the will have a 4-2 advantage.
