OK, so what else you got?

You're a determined, and somewhat skeptical, voter. Fine. You've gone through the Start Here post, and clicked or scrolled through all Organizing the Data posts on all the contested races on your ballot.

You take nothing for granted. You've looked at all the Endorsements posts, too, making sure that I didn't give a candidate credit for any endorsement I couldn't actually verify. (Pro tip: Many candidates have more endorsements than I list here on FWIW -- but I only report endorsements where I can confirm the identity of all Cook County judicial candidates to whom the endorser gave the nod -- you can often find more endorsements for candidates on their respective websites.)

But you want more.

You want to be certain that I'm not holding out on you.

Well, perhaps you will find it helpful to look at VoteForJudges.org... or Charlie Meyerson's Chicago Public Square 2024 Illinois Primary Voter Guide Guide (a guide to voter guides). Both will offer to send you right back here to FWIW (if you're a sci-fi buff, you may be concerned about getting trapped in a temporal loop but, as far as I know, no one has ever reported that happening... not they could report back, of course, if it actually happened...).

VoteForJudges.org and Chicago Public Square will also offer you BallotReady, which will build a ballot for you and provide information about each candidate on the ballot.

Chicago Public Square and BallotReady deal with the entire ballot, not just the judicial races, so you may find that helpful.

Or your search engine may have set you down here despite the fact that you don't vote in Cook County and don't care about judicial elections here. Two things: (1) Be grateful that AI hasn't advanced to that stage yet, so we can still laugh about it, even if it is increasingly nervous laughter and (2) if you are from Illinois, outside of Cook County, you can find Illinois State Bar Association evaluations of judicial candidates seeking election in your county by clicking to this page of the ISBA website and finding your county there.

And, of course, there's always the March 2024 Cook County Judicial Election Guide published by Injustice Watch. We all publish the same bar association ratings, but, just for one example, the Injustice Watch guide often has information about candidate spending and finance that I haven't reported. You may find that helpful.

Readers may also find some stand-alone stories about the current election cycle to be of interest. For example:

• "In a hyper-local judicial race, questions about what counts as community representation," about the contest in the 14th Subcircuit, by Maya Dukmasova and Alejandra Cancino, Injustice Watch, published March 12,


• "A perennial candidate pins her hopes on her sixth run for judge," by Kelly Garcia, a story about the 7th Subcircuit contest, Injustice Watch, published March 12 (in which yours truly is quoted),


• "Name-change law used to target women running for judge," by Grace Asiegbu, Injustice Watch, published March 14 (in which yours truly is not quoted, but see also, "Has §7-10.2 of the Election Code become a Catch-22 for married women running for judge?", FWIW, published January 16, and four subsequent articles including this one) (update - a motion to publish has been allowed in the Rice case - more on that later),


• "Kim Przekota squares off against Audrey Cosgrove in race for judge," by Bob Skolnik, Wednesday Journal, first published March 13, and


• "Will third time be a charm for Martin Reggi’s run for judge?", by Bob Skolnik, Riverside-Brookfield Landmark, published March 12.

Voters really can find a lot of information about Cook County judicial candidates... if they want to look.
