Who can get excited about a seat that is to be filled for only 8 or so months before another election?

Well, the GOP spent almost $11 million dollars on this "meaningless" race (six times more than the Democrats spent) and Trump went there twice to campaign for Saccone, so the Republican Party clearly felt this election was pretty important.

Special elections are always beset with low turnout, always.

People are busy, any election that is short-term is not going to drive likely voters in droves to the polls.

What this all about is democrat cheerleading. They are using this to give hope to their disgruntled base.
