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