Arizona lawmakers are set to decide on a ballot measure that aims to end the public vote on retaining judges. The Republican majority in the Arizona Legislature is pushing for this change, which would eliminate voters' ability to have a say in judicial retention. This move is seen as an effort to shield judges from voter scrutiny, leading to concerns about the growing influence of the ballot in Arizona's political landscape.
