The Supreme Court justices are there until they retire. It takes years to undo the old democrat control.
There are multiple difficulties with judge elections. There are geographical, gender, political, racial, degree of experience, old bitterness, former legislators, rumors, prior judicial decisions and on and on...
All it takes is a candidate residing in a metropolitan area like Charleston, Greenville or Columbia and they get their republican hometown delegation support and all the democrats in the state and you have a tight race.
Conservatives have to actually run a good race to win.

Either write things worth reading, or do things worth writing.
