currious of the chicken/egg scenerio when it comes to candidates on the ballot though. IE is there only one candidate in the primaries because no one is going to vote anyway, or is no one going to the primaries because only one person is on the ballot.

A lack of challengers is exceedingly rare. I was just discussing Fetterman’s election in another thread, where someone was saying he was better than Dr. Oz, but both options sucked. He also had three challengers in a primary that only saw 8.5% attendance.
