TX State House & Senate Elections - 2010

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

That's a lot of uncontested seats.

For some reason the parties in Minnesota are far better at getting someone to run in every seat. In 2008 in fact the two major parties each ran a candidate in every single seat no matter how hopeless. Might be the convention system, it's kind of demoralizing for a group to just vote to not put up anyone. Someone is bound to volunteer.
