According to this list 45 House Republican Seats do not have a candidate running! If this list is correct, that means those Democrats running get that seat! Why aren’t FR people signing up to run for those seats? Or is timeline closed yet?
I just saw this today, so wondering what will happen to those House seats in 2018?
Dude, there were some districts that are just not worth throwing your money away in ...
“According to this list 45 House Republican Seats”
I now see your problem! Theses are not house Republican seats. They are house democratic seats.
Some of those seats are unwinnable so no point in filling except that you never know what may happen between now and election day. By not putting in a candidate you forfeit taking advantage of death, illness or political gaffes.
Vermont has one rep. Peter Welch. He’s has a $2 million war chest (which means he is waiting for a senator to retire). He does have one opponent, Cris Ericson (United States Marijuana Party) who got 2,900 votes in 2014 to Peter’s 123,000. There was a Republican in that race who took 32% to Peter’s 64%.
You must be incredibly naïve.
