They’d rather candidates run unopposed, giving voters fewer choices?


NP. I think it’s a reasonable question, OP isn’t saying they shouldn’t be allowed to run, just wondering what the motivation and incentive is to put time and money into an election campaign that you know you cannot win.


To get some training wheels?
