This Slipped Under My Radar

In SD-18, Dr. Henry Boehm Jr and Brett Baldwin filed to run for the Democratic nomination in the primaries. Then, a month out from voting day, Boehm bowed out. Somehow, though, the genius voters of that district still voted for him, essentially making it so that Dems have no candidate to run against Glen Hegar in November. After he won, Boehm started to reconsider, but still decided to stay out of that race.

So yeah, when it boils down to it, Democrats in SD-18 voted to not have a choice in November.

Bleh. There isn't much difference between a Democrat and Republican anyway.

Looks like it will be Repub vs Libertarian. Cool.
