Here in bradford County, PA both rep. tina pickett and Matt Baker are running unopposed as Republicans. The Democrats decided that the voters did not deserve a choice. It is my contention that any party not putting up a candidate should either be fined or have to drop down to a minority party for at least one cycle. this means that they must get more signitures to be on the ballot. I am upset that in this case the Democrats did not give a damn and I don't hear the Republicans condeming them either. we have men dying in Iraq to create a workable democracy over there and right here the same parties that sent them over don't put up canidates. Citizens should write-in the name of someone if only to show their outrage. both democrat and republican partys are guilty of this practice and it must be hindered in some way.
