I have opened my early voting ballot (drum roll).  One side consists of 8 propositions and 45 judges which have yes or no choices.   Judges are always the most difficult: they don’t advertise (a good thing) and I am not personally involved with the judicial system (even better).. but generally I’m at a total loss on how to vote.  A friend of mine (who works with kids - including some who do have experience with judges in the family and juvenile courts) passed on this  Arizona State web site with data on judicial performance, so there is some help.   

The propositions are just annoying, as they have become a tool of special interest groups - and almost impossible to decipher.  Here is a one stop web site for further information on the propositions.

Your vote counts -- make it informed!
