Besides, am I right or wrong: All the judicial candidates in my area (Cook County) are Democrats (no Republicans even running). So whoever wins the primary, in contested races, will be elected in November. I assume these candidates are not on the Republican ballot.

I've already done my research on the judicial races. It's also important to vote for Toni Preckwinkel's choices for Cook County Board. None are in my district, maybe they're in yours, though.
