NM Lawyer here. Under the current system, a judge can be appointed right before the general election. This doesn’t give voters enough time to review the judge’s performance and make an informed decision to vote them in. The constitutional amendment provides this period so the public can have time to determine whether to retain or not. Given your concerns, I’d vote for the amendment.
