RE: State is run by morons.
What does this tell us about the majority of voters?
S***hole State.
Another factor to consider is the gerrymandering (er, redistricting) which guarantees safe seats for each party, albeit a lot smaller percentage for Republicans. With that guarantee the parties are free to run extremist politicians that don’t even have to pretend to tack to the middle of the road. once in office, the extemists butt heads constantly with the Democrats winning nearly every time. Then, too, there is the rule that in the final elections, the two highest vote-getters in the primaries appear on the ballot, regardless of party affiliation. Last November the ballot for U.S. senator to replace Barbara Boxer was between a Democrat and a Democrat only.
