Kennedy was reelected to the court, this time as its chief justice.
On an already conservative panel,"Justice Kennedy was perhaps the most conservative," says Jonathan Entin, a law professor at Case Western Reserve University. Ohio voters also reelected Republican Associate Justices Mark Fischer and Pat DeWine, son of Gov. Mike DeWine. Gov. DeWine, also a Republican, will get to appoint one justice to the court, filling O'Connor's seat.
At the same time, races to control these courts have attracted greater spending, and in some cases, have become more explicitly partisan.
