"Update: According to County Board of Elections numbers, this year is no different regarding the Democrats inability to field candidates. Republicans are running unopposed in three of the four countywide offices up for grabs."
"Of the 67 local offices available countwide, there are no more than 13 actual Democrats running. There are at least 2 Republicans who lost their party's primary and are running on the GOP line. There are 12 Republicans who were also handed the Democratic line."
"All this means that over 80 percent of the offices up for grabs in Warren County will have no actual Democrat contending."
"It also means that countywide, there are more Republicans on the Democratic ballot line than Democrats."
Next door in Washington County the Democrats are only contesting 22 of over 100 offices this year. In Saratoga County, less than 50% of the offices will be contested by Democrats...
Goes to show you just how much work actually needs to be done in order to finally build a viable Democratic infrastructure throughout this region...
