The National Center for State Court's Gavel-to-Gavel blog reports on the outcome nationwide of ballot measures on the judiciary:
The 2012 election saw several attempts to “rein in” or otherwise assert control of the judiciary by the other branches of government. The four key amendments on the ballot not only all failed, but failed in stunning fashion when compared to both other items on the ballot and historically.
Arizona's Proposition 115 failed 27%-73%; Florida Amendment 5 failed 37%-63%; Missouri Constitutional Amendment 3 failed 24%-76%; and New Hampshire’s Question 2 failed 49-51%.
