The results from Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gregg's home county in this last most recent primary election may be instructive and indicative.
In the 2016 Knox county primary, Republican gubernatorial candidate Pence received 4,645 votes, Democrat Gregg 3,528.
The Republican primary candidates for Senator, Stutzman and Young received 5,702 votes total, while lone Democrat Senate candidate Baron Hill got 2,915.
