Related: About this forumIt is never easy to decide which judges should be retained on Florida ballots
This web site I happed upon made it much easier.
https://judgevoterguide.com
It gave recommendations whether to dismiss or retain current judges.
But then I did some digging and found out that the owner of the site is this fellow.
Craig Huey and he has an older web site.

By going to ballotpedia and looking up who was appointed by which governor, and (in my own personal case, reversing the recommendations on the judgevoterguide website, I made decisions on whom I thought should be retained or dismissed.
I have no idea if the method I used is really valid but in my opinion, if the person giving me recommendations is hard core right, I'll trust my gut.

(10,791 posts)I look up who appointed them.
When Sam Brownhole was Gov here, I voted to keep them all even those appointed by previous R's because he would have appointed someone even worse.

(9,605 posts)you got Laura Kelly, that would be less appointments for her and she is someone you would want to make those appointments. That's the bet you have to hedge.
The vote to retain or not retain these judges really depends on how confident you are that Charlie Crist would win.

In It to Win It
(9,605 posts)I'm in Broward, which the 4th District Court covers along with several other counties. So far, I found nothing from the Democratic party websites in any of the counties within the coverage of the 4th District Court that has any recommendations for retaining judges.

We also printed it out as a reference for our volunteers who are doing our ballot chase. We are currently chasing mail ballots and in my opinion it is more important that our voters make a decision on the judges than what that decision is. If they can't make a decision it's an excuse to put their ballot aside and possibly forget to turn it in. We need every vote we can get for our candidates.
Voting for judges is a futile enterprise- retention is virtually automatic. Voting NO because they were appointed by a Republican may "send a message"- but nobody is listening- and if a judge was actually recalled there is still at least an even chance that DeSantis gets reelected and appoints someone as bad or worse.

Chances are they all will remain. Voters tend to allow them to continue.
