I find that primary elections, other than for President, are rarely contested by serious candidates...
That's often true in Congressional elections, where an incumbent or a strong candidate will "clear the field", but it's definitely not the case in local elections. Also, there are often very competitive primaries in places where the general election is a foregone conclusion.
In my district, every Democratic candidate ran unopposed in the primary election, including for state and county offices. So I didn't bother to vote in it.
Fair enough.
