Judges in Kentucky, where I used to live, are, in fact, elected by the voting
population. This includes district judges (misdemeanors/ juveniles/
preliminary hearings) circuit judges (felonies), judges of the Court of
Appeal and State Supreme Court.
My memory of California is that the governor appoints all judges, who must
then stand for non-partisan election in the next general election of the
state.
