Because they couldn't agree on the district lines, there was one primary for governor and lieutenant governor and a later one for congressional candidates. I voted in both, but poll workers were glad to see me since the place was nearly empty. So I'm hoping that voters turn out just to vote for him, though it's obvious he already has overwhelming support.
