    I don’t follow.

    A vote cast for an unopposed candidate is a vote that doesn’t matter, right?

      I don’t think so. There’s never only unopposed candidates on a ballot.

      That said, even if you were correct, who does it help to point that out?

        Many down ballot positions are unopposed where I live. Of course, I think you only are talking about national seats.

        The utility, then, is to note that safe seats operate similarly to unopposed seats especially when it comes to funding by national parties.
