State Legislature Special Election Megathread v3

[DrScholl]

The recurring themes of these special elections is either that the GOP is not generating enthusiasm or that Democrats are turning out voters despite being the incumbent party nationally. One of my theories is that Republicans are relying more and more on a set of unreliable voters that Trump brought into the fold that care only about Trump.

In California local races that go uncontested don't even go on the ballot.

Hate to be that guy but there is a lot of over reacting to an election with less than 6,000 total votes.

The problem with that logic is that Democrats have traditionally been on the losing end in these sort of elections. This should have been an easy hold for Republicans, but they lost it big. And it's in exactly the type of area they cannot afford to lose in actual swing states. Once again Democrats have demonstrated that they have solved much of the turnout problems they had in the past.
