And by the way - the "people" have no say on constitutional amendments.
Directly, no. I didn't mean it that way. But they do vote for those who have that say.
Those choices could be a lot better imho.
How many House races are truly contested this year at either the primary race involving the eventual winner or in the general election? 5% or less? What about Senate seats? 10% or so? Almost all of the contested races are for open seats or where 2 incumbents were pitted against each other.
