So in the '80s, we were still electing Supreme Court Judges here in California. At some point, that ended and the governor was allowed to appoint those judges. Maybe Wisconsin and all of those who allow partisan voting for these judges needs to reconsider the practice. It's sad when the judiciary becomes partisan. It is hopelessly partisan now and I'm afraid there's no returning. Just look at what's happened to the national Supreme Court. Travesty.

We're still electing judges in CA. There were a whole bunch on my ballot. I just kept the ones appointed by Ds.

Yes, but not Supreme Court justices. We are electing at the county level. Unless they are endorsed by the Ds, I leave them blank.

Appoint or elect, it would appear that partisanship can enter the judicial system either way.
