>Do the judges actually run races that have real opposition?
If someone runs against them, yes. Most of the time, they run unopposed.
Still, if half the voters give them the thumbs down, they are out and
another election is held. It gives then voters a way to remove a judge that
has really angered the public.
>Direct election of judges doesn't solve the problem.
It seemed to me like it did. Most of the time people didn't care what
judges did, but I saw a couple times when a judge did something stupid and
was out after the next election. That was one of the reasons for the
American Revolution. Judges from England making rulings that did not
reflect what the locals wanted.
>Oh, and by the way, Nevada has one of the most corrupt governments in the

>industry giants, if I need to separate the two) is supreme.
On what do you base this?
