Considering that in many places judges are elected, I'd consider that fairly close to randomly selected. Nobody is being particularly ardent in their vote for judges, and as a result basically anyone who runs for the position with the largest advertising budget can win.

These positions should be appointed by elected state legislatures or elected county governance boards (actually, the clerk position should simply be a salaried employee position).
