Update: Judges and Illinois ballots 2004

Well, every judge that was recommended against by the various political and bar associations nevertheless won retention. The most egregiously deserving of removal (a judge that set up and funded an opposing side to an unopposed child adoption case in her own courtroom), was nevertheless retained with 63% YES vote. Close (under 60% 'YES' would remove her). A better "get the word out" than in previous years' elections, but in the end, the little contests were mostly ignored.
