No, Americans decided (via their states) that they wanted to elect judges. Why? Do you elect teachers? Firefighters?

Back when this was originally decided, most Americans did not have the right to vote. It would be nice if we could reconsider decisions like this now that we do have that right, but not only because we could come up with a different way to hire judges...

No, not all States have elected judges. Only some do. I agree that electing judges is idiotic so I'm not sure what you're trying to convince me of.
