NJ-08: Local politico predicts Tuesday's Democratic primary will be surprisingly close. (Original Post) RandySF Jul 2020 OP
Do you assume everyone knows who's running in either Primary? brooklynite Jul 2020 #1
I assume that Google is a powerful tool. RandySF Jul 2020 #2

Why should anyone bother to google? (I did, but still don’t know what the issue is that would make this race, or its closeness, of import).

There are 435 primary House races every other year. (Twice that if you count the Republican primaries). Lucky if we can follow the ones in our own states. I’m happy to learn why I should pay attention to this particular primary, but short of this, I have dishes to do.

...but since you couldn’t be bothered to list the candidates (which I do when I summarize political contests) and a Twitter account I’ve never heard of couldn’t be bothered either, I decided I couldn’t be bothered to respond to the content of your original post.

Tomorrow, I’ll post a full summary of all July 7 Primary contests. You’re welcome.
