Everything depends on Republicans going to the polls whether a tight election or not. When Republicans do not vote in safe districts, or perceive they are safe, it provides an opportunity for an upset and it allows the Dems to claim we got the most votes nationally so Senate, House etc is non-legitimate. Worked hard last evening after 5 PM going door-to-door encouraging neighbors to vote early and why it is so important. In my district fighting complacency in house race but the Governors race is so important for the state.
Your point regarding not voting because your district is safe is a strong one and, I hate to admit, one I had not considered.
Thank you.
