You could just flip a coin in the 5th for the sacrificial lamb. The one I voted for without much thought won the worthless nomination.

An open State Senate race in my VRA district for the seat of outgoing center-right(!) Black Dem Thelma Harper (who got a whopping 79% Conservative from the ACU in 2017). Unfortunately, the seat will go hard left as State Rep. Brenda Gilmore won it (who has a 16% lifetime rating from the ACU). Harper opposed Gilmore’s candidacy and endorsed Rev. Howard Jones, who may have been more to the right. I didn’t vote in the Dem primary, though would’ve voted for Jones if I did. Gilmore will become the most left-wing member of the Senate, with Raumesh Akbari (state rep lady succeeding Lee Harris) becoming #2 (with 23% lifetime ACU rating).

I’d appreciate a choice meaningless or not, almost had one in my district, 4 Republicans ran but 3 dropped out. I would have carefully weighed the choices as if it mattered.

16% conservative would be swell, for a federal rat.

” Thelma Harper”

That’s really her name? LOL. I’m sure you told me about her before but I don’t remember. Why is she a rat? Just to get elected?
