Primary roundup from August 24, 2010
August 25, 2010
Of the five states hosting primary elections yesterday, in only three did voters select judges to compete in the general election.
In Florida, voters chose candidates in nonpartisan elections for the Circuit Courts and County Courts. While the primary generally allows voters to select the two nominees that will advance to the general election, 23 races on the Circuit Courts were decided yesterday.

In Arizona, judicial candidates participate in partisan elections, so the primary is designed to give voters an opportunity to select their party's candidate for the fall election. Judges of the Superior Courts and Justice Courts are elected through this method (excluding the Maricopa and Pima County Superior Courts). In Arizona's crowded county races, voters only decided two elections, leaving much excitement for the general election.

Vermont also hosts partisan judicial primaries. There, voters elect Probate Court and Assistant Judges in the primary election. However, the state is unique in that it does not use election night reporting, but instead takes one week to tabulate results. We will not know the results of the primary until August 31, 2010.[1]
