Why Vote on Judges?
- Judges must deal with everything from minor disputes to society's most intractable problems. Their decisions have as great an impact on our lives as decisions made by the governor or legislator. The governor alone selects those who will serve on the bench. But at election time, voters become the judges of who is qualified to remain there. Those who vote are exercising an important opportunity to maintain the balance between judicial independence and accountability.
