It's almost election day, and so time for me to harrange all my friends to a) vote and b) vote out some judges. In Cook County we get to vote whether to retain our judges, but it's a reasonably obscure process and there are a lot of judges (70, this year) and so it's very, very rare for a judge to be voted out. But there are a couple of really terrible judges on the ballot this year, so if you live in Cook County please check VoteForJudges.org, read my Metblog post on the subject, and vote No to Cynthia Brim, Robert Kowalski, and Amanda Toney. (Or just do what I do and stick it to The Man and vote No on all the judges.)
