17. My Indiana Democratic Ballot had no real contests.
Bayh timed the announcement that he was retiring so that we would have no one on the primary ballot. Now the party gets to hand pick our nominee for November. One last "fuck-you" to the voters from the sell-out Bayh.
Other than that we had token opposition to our congressional candidate and one marginally competitive township race. The local party does its best to stifle any real primary contests through their slating scam.
If there isn't really anything to decide in a primary, what is going to motivate the average person to vote?
