In my part of Southern California there were eleventy-seven judicial races, which are nominally non-partisan. I couldn't find any Democratic voter guides with suggestions for the judicial races. As I was determinedly using 'the google' to look up each of the judicial candidates' names, I realized that there might be an easier, softer way (as many friends of mine say about something else): I sought out the local RepubliQan voter guide which *had* recommendations for each of those races and voted the opposite for each.
Now I wait for the text from the CA Secretary of State's office indicating my ballot's been received, and then for the text indicating my ballot has been counted.

Have some time to work on it, but not thinking there are a lot of choices here in Washington.
We have a similar situation with judges here in WA. Supposedly 'non-partisan' and typically not a lot of info on them.
