@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. KCUR’s Savannah Hawley-Bates and Grace Hill put together guides to the judge elections in Missouri and Kansas — and explain why some Republican lawmakers want to change how judges get selected in the first place. 🎙️Hosted by Savannah Hawley-Bates & Grace Hills 📹Filmed and produced by Zach Perez 🖥️Edited by Gabe Rosenberg #kansas #missouri #election ♬ original sound - KCUR - Kansas City
