Halverson re-election riddle

In Nevada, we’re watching the judicial discipline hearing of Judge Elizabeth Halverson, who’s been accused of, inter alia, making her bailiff give her foot rubs, falling asleep on the bench, eating with jurors during a criminal trial, and putting her husband under oath to find out if he cleaned the house. See here. My question is: assuming she gets thrown off the bench for her current term, what happens if voters re-elect her for a new term, given the power of incumbent name recognition?(posted by Nancy Rapoport)
