From InjusticeWatch.Org: “Judges are powerful officials whose decisions on the bench touch many aspects of life, from traffic tickets to divorces, lawsuits, evictions, and criminal cases. They have the power to take someone’s freedom, enforce or overturn state laws, and correct or perpetuate injustices. Yet there are few places to get information about the people running for judge…. This year, 61 judges are running for retention in Cook County. Voters will be asked whether each judge should remain on the bench. A judge must receive 60% “yes” votes to keep their seat.”
