The fact is, too many regular citizens don't even bother to vote this part of the ballot. And who could blame them? You have 65 judges you've never heard of, and researching it is neither a pleasant task nor even very helpful. All these judges need to do is get a few hundred friends and family members to vote to retain them and they've probably beaten the odds!
