August 30, 2012

North Dakota: Voters in North Dakota will only determine the outcome in two judicial races this November. In the Southeast Judicial District, incumbent Judge Richard W. Grosz and Brad Cruff will compete against after facing off in the primary election. In June, Cruff won the majority of votes, bringing in 60.72%.
