Please vote in the general election this fall! 54 people in the state determined the outcome of the primary!

This is the person who controls all five million acres of public lands and forest fire management.

I have a strong distrust for anybody who is still willing to put an (R) by their name, I feel like anyone who is a decent person would switch.
(Not saying the Dems are great, but not actively villainous like the GOP)

Is there any reason this particular race may be different in that regard?

(And the Democrat candidate even has nominative determinism going for him, can't ignore that bonus)

I don't know if I remember right but I think there were a whole pack of dems on that ballot all splitting the vote

Yeah, I think you are right. I forgot about that.
