People split their tickets.
Here is WI, we had a sweep of Rs for all positions except the SoS. Why? His name is La Folette. In Wisconsin, this is a name to conjure with. A Progressive touchstone.
However, our AG was also returned and he is an R. So, there is, at least some check and balance against the SoS.
I loathe political dynasties. I’m hard pressed to find good ones, even on the GOP side.
Back in 2002 here in IL we had an Adali Stevenson run for State House. Thankfully he lost badly in a GOP district.
