This is not true, at least in Louisiana.

All state court judges are elected everywhere. State COA judges and state supreme court justices are appointed by governors. Constituents can't simply vote out the judges who are the ones who will set legal precedent in their states. State Court judges won't be deciding whether laws are constitutional under their state laws.
Not sure how you can make both of the bolded sentences in the same statement.

A state court judge, and state court of appeals judge, and a state supreme court justice are three different things.
But my apologies on saying "all." Most states do, however, follow that basic model, either through the governor or state legislature appointments. In my state (Tennessee), they're both appointed by the governor. Every 8 years, the state populace votes whether or not to keep them. If the populace votes "no," then the governor appoints a replacement. The populace has very little control over who sits on the bench in the COA or supreme court.
