I was just checking the ballot for my area, and half of it was unopposed Republicans. Where is the Democratic party?!

I mean, why didn't you run?

Take that answer and repeat it for 1- the number of voters in your district. And its not just true for elected offices, party offices are often given to "those who show up".
