Before you go to the polls, decide which Judges to retain

This year, for the first time ever, I actually did research on the Judges and figured out which ones I don't want to retain. I usually just randomly pick a few and give no second thought. But listening to WVON 1690AM, I heard a great conversation about how the Judges have the most immediate impact on our lives. Say you get caught driving drunk one night, when you go for your day in court your future will be decided by one of the judges you voted yea or nay to retain. And it was really easy to do the research. It took about 15 minutes.

Here are the three resources I used:

More than 80 judicial candidates are running for election with many of them running unopposed. Be informed before you go the polls! #SoulsToThePolls #BoutThatVote #Nov4NowandEver #MakeItCount
