Here is an excellent source of information: The League of Women Voters of The Villages/Tri-County Area: lwvtri.org/ Lots info on their main page and on the various places they link to. Totally non-partisan. They have published a number of guides for the general election. One of them in particular pertains to the election of judges. It's free of course and doesn't support one judge or another. It tells you how to get detailed information about every judge running for election or retention. lwvtri.org/files/florida_bar_guide_to_electing_judges.pdf Hope this helps.

Me too, but that doesn't work for judges since we don't know their party.

But you can look up the cases they have decided. I voted NO for all appeals court judges because of several decisions that I disliked.

I agree. It takes a little time to look into it but we as a nation really need to start really looking at who is making the decisions.
