Voter disengagement helped along by media consolidation. It's not profitable to cover House races anymore unless something crazy is happening, so people aren't made aware of it. State and local elections are even worse. Sometimes the only information about a candidate I can find is their private Facebook profile.

100%. Many fly under the radar and hope to catch a downballot win.
