It doesn’t help to have details. As I said, the races are always uncontested, and the retention questions have never resulted in a judge’s ouster. I still vote every slot, including NOs on 5 or 6 judges, on average. But it’s pretty much an exercise in futility.

I like the breadth of views from the many different bars including Black Women lawyers LGBTQ lawyers, etc.).
