I voted No on:
  • Victoria Chaney - https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB120657746877667149 Nevertheless, in November a jury found that Dole Food, which ran the Nicaraguan banana plantations where DBPC was used, was liable. In addition to compensatory damages, it awarded the farm workers $2.5 million in punitive damages. But on March 7, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Victoria Chaney overturned the jury verdict and threw out the entire punitive award.
  • Thomas Wilhite - https://www.scpr.org/blogs/news/2013/01/03/11833/rape-conviction-overturned-because-victim-was-not-/ - A California appeals court reluctantly overturned a 2009 rape conviction Wednesday, finding that impersonating a boyfriend is not the same as impersonating a husband, according to an arcane state law. 
  • Carol Corrigan - https://www.mercurynews.com/2008/05/15/divided-california-supreme-court-legalizes-same-sex-marriage/ -

    Three justices, Marvin Baxter, Ming Chin and Carol Corrigan, dissented from George’s ruling. Corrigan, however, did not seem completely opposed to gay marriage. She opened her dissent by stating: “In my view, Californians should allow our gay and lesbian neighbors to call their unions marriages.”

    Corrigan, Baxter and Chin argued that it should be up to the voters or Legislature to sanction gay marriage, not the courts. A divided state appeals court reached that conclusion in 2006 when it upheld the ban on gay marriage. That ruling was overturned by the Thursday’s Supreme Court decision.

This is the GOP's recommendations. Make of that what you will.

When researching I found it helpful to search for "judge first name last name opinion". Ballot dropped off today.
