thanks! I’ve been reading the Teles book and finding it very helpful. I’ll look at the TNR article.

also much of the pro-electing judges scholarship (as by Chris Bonneau, Melinda Hall, et al.) is implicitly about this, since it's underwritten by conservative interests who are interested in winning state judicial elections. there's a whole academic industry built on this

sure, there's an entire set of interests devoted to battling against judicial elections. one of the most prominent supporters of this line of thought is sandra day o'connor.https://www.lambdalegal.org/justice-out-of-balance/judicial-elections …

the brennan center's big report was pretty comprehensive. one interesting direct result of electing state supreme court justices is that more death penalty convictions are upheld. people like to elect judges who are tough on crimehttps://www.brennancenter.org/publication/politics-judicial-elections …
