That is not always the case. On this last ballot, there were at least half a dozen cases where there was only one person on the ballot including the race for mayor of my city. In other cases, like my congressional representative, there were only two people on the ballot. So, do you recommend I vote for the incumbent Democrat who has been in office for several terms, or should I vote for the Republican who's also a lifelong politician and has held several different elected offices in the past?
