Um, so you're voting for the retention every six years, they need to be retained, they need 60% of the vote to be retained.

If 60% of the people don't give them a yes, then they the Supreme Court of Illinois has to find a temporary person to fill in until the next election.

Um, But there are ways.

So do you have to go in and check the record of all 61 judges up for retention this year? No, because there are some smart people at the Chicago Bar Association and Injustice Watch.

Elizabeth did appeal to the Supreme Court of Illinois and Massachusetts because she was still in Illinois, but Theophilus, turns out, had run away to Massachusetts.

So she appealed to both state Supreme Courts, but married women in those states had no legal rights to their property or their children.

She was left with nothing, and there was not a damn thing she could do about it.
