Judicial elections are done at the state level in 34 states. In some states, it's a typical election with a republican vs a democrat while in others, it's a retention election in which if a judge loses, the governor picks a new one.
Personally, I think that judges are supposed to ensure that justice is served without fear of disapproval from the majority. I do realize that some judges might not be very good at their job and that democracy helps root out corruption but judge rulings are harder to find than votes by a congressman.
