So many judges!

I was gonna vote yesterday as I drove right by the place, but didn't because I don't know a lot about all the judicial nominees. I know they are supposed to be non-partisan, but...... they aren't.

I tried to find the Dem HQ in Pender County but couldn't. (the GOP HQ is blatantly visible, BTW. I suppose I could go there and find out who NOT to vote for)

I went to the excellent NC Voter Guide and even read all the blurbs. (My eyes are now permanently crossed) They all say about the same thing and only a few candidates can be "figured out" as to whether they lean left or right.

Is there a list somewhere of the left leaning judicial candidates? Any suggestions?

Attorneys who appear in court (lots don't) usually have a pretty informed opinion about judges.

Thanks everyone. this was indeed very helpful!

The one NC 5th circuit judge race I couldn't find much about either candidate was one with 2 equally awful conservatives running against each other...so I'm leaving that one blank.



Thanks again!
