Electing judges doesn’t really make sense to me. Are people supposed to dig up every court case they’ve ruled on? (Or for prospective new judges, every case they’ve represented in as a lawyer?)

(I’m in USA Btw; Does any other country even “elect” judges? Such a weird thing IMO.)

    Yeah this has been the most reliable method for me. They’ll usually tout endorsements and those folks are usually easier to get a read on. Otherwise, try to find news stories or blue voter guides that mention them.
