The number of parties shouldn't determine whether people run unopposed. Both of the races I posted about are contested primaries in effectively one-party districts. If someone is running unopposed, there is exactly one reason for it: Nobody decided to run against them. The antidote is simple: More people should run for office. One party, two parties, three parties... it doesn't change that basic reality.
