Yeah, maybe, but that 70% to recall incumbents is high. This could also imply that their algorithm to keep their win just over 50% isn't working.

I suppose you might be right & they might just throw money at their preferred candidates in low level races like these. So in this case that would mean their propaganda is having much less effect as things get closer to home like children.

Or maybe the public is waking up in general. Other friends not connected to GAW seem to notice more things coming out & more things allowed on social media
