I've had many of you contact me asking for information on magistrates whose names are on the ballot. Unfortunately, there is virtually no way to get the kind of information that will actually help you cast an intelligent vote on magistrates. Since magistrates just face retention votes, meaning they have no election opponent, they have no incentive to return a voter guide questionnaire since they feel it can only hurt them and can't help them. No one has the time to follow all their cases in an effort to discern their guiding judicial philosophy/Bryan Fischer, IVA. More here.

Question: Do you support sending a message to judges and magistrates by voting "no" on magistrate retention questions on the ballot?
