33. Does "Limited jurisdiction" always mean the judges are voted in
by local citiens? All I've found so far is that they are limited to the types of cases they handle. http://dictionary.law.com/default2.Asp?selected=1165&bold=%7C%7C%7C%7C

I'm think I'll try writing the journalist who wrote the NYT's series and see if they can come up with the other 29 states that are still set up this way. This truly should not be all about how bad NYS is when there are 29 others are set up the same way and probably have comparable problems and if not I'd like to know how it's been handled to avoid it.
