To this point, here is the list of positions I voted for today:
Federal:
Senator
House Representative (Congressman)
State Executive:
Governor/Lieutenant Governor
Attorney General
Chief Financial Officer
Commissioner of Agriculture
State Judicial (all questions were whether or not the person should be allowed to continue to serve or removed from the position):
Supreme Court
4th District Court of Appeals (X 3)
Circuit Court (3 separate positions with 2 or 3 candidates for each)
County:
County Commissioner
County Court Justice
Referendum Questions:
13 state referendum items with intricate language and hidden details of how it affects the public. Basically, a whole lot of research to answer these.
1 county referendum question
I filled out 4 full ballot pages as long as my arm. It's pretty crazy how much I get to be in charge of that I have no business being in charge of because of how woefully uninformed I am on what these people do. What the hell qualifies me to vote for a judge? Do I have the ability to evaluate their body of work effectively? Short answer: no.
