    California? Because the ballot sounds familiar.

    With the judges though I think it was just coincidence as there are still elections that all is to decide. These were because those judges term was going up and we were asked if the judge should be continue to hold the office for another term.

    I personally think that the governor should appoint judges, the Senate should confirm them and we should be able to vote them out (majority vote) in case they abuse their position.

    I think that voting out could be good for federal judges and SCOTUS as well.

      Indeed. I don’t know if that’s unique to CA, but it’s an odd phenomenon.

      I think your system does work better. As long as judges aren’t going full Clarence Thomas, I generally shouldn’t know the day to day news of a judicial representative. The whole point is to take a non-partisan stance, after all.
