@kcur893 Some of the MOST important names on your ballot this year are probably ones you’ve never heard of. That’s because they’re judges. Across Missouri and Kansas, voters are being asked whether these state Supreme Court justices and lower court judges should retain their jobs or not. But information about who they are, and how they do their job, is often hard to find.
