    I’m in Lesser Carolina. On Tuesday we had an election. Two state level offices. Each one had an incumbent Republican running against a different Republican. The results were basically known before the election happened. So I went in and voted for the non-incumbent just to have something to do. I was the only voter at my place the whole time I was there.

      Deep blue states can be this way as well. The primaries effectively decide the winner if there is a Republican or else it is a Democrat v Democrat election where its a referendum on the incumbent.

        Perfect example of this is california senate races and the jungle primaries. Establishment democrats help boost the republican so the head to head wont Schiff vs Porter.

        There is no way the incumbents weren’t going to win. All it does is show the incumbents that they aren’t as secure as they think.
