In the last election, about 30% of the seats that were up for election had someone running uncontested. My congressman was one of those people. Of the bigger seats that were up for election including one Senate seat, there was no real choice. For Senate I could vote for the incumbent or I could choose to vote for his challenger who was also a lifelong politician.

You can only vote for the people who run for office. How am I supposed to vote for people who will represent me and not billionaires when there are none running?
