    South Carolina Circuit Court judges (along with many other kinds of judges) are elected by the General Assembly (state legislature), not directly by the voters of the state. Some judges are appointed by various commissions and councils. None are directly voted on by the citizens.

      I mean I think the intention was the votes go to people who will put competent judges in place rather than for hire judges not so much actually vote for the judges themselves.
