Why Democrats Should Contest Every Race


April 16, 2021 at 10:30 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

New York Times: “The president, who eked out a 12,000-vote victory in Georgia, received a small but potentially important boost from the state’s conservative areas if at least one local Democrat was running in a down-ballot race… That finding extended even to the state’s reddest districts.”

“The phenomenon appeared to hold nationally. Mr. Biden performed 0.3 percent to 1.5 percent better last year in conservative state legislative districts where Democrats put forward challengers than in districts where Republicans ran unopposed.”

Need our support too. Not only for the above reason, but also an unopposed qgop candidate like margarine green is even further emboldened in their craziness
