That's just the thing. It's not unusual at all. In the 2016 election, there were 30 different congressional reps and 1 Senator who ran unopposed.
Here the Denver Post talks about how across the nation 42% of all state House and Assembly seats only had one candidate. In the state of Georgia, 83% of the State House seats ran unopposed in the last election.
