I couldn't remember if you'd posted them, yeah.I did the Colorado House and both chambers in Washington, can't remember if I've actually posted them. If I find the Colorado Senate boundaries, I'll also be doing those.

Some US states are like that - in the Arkansas house, there are 100 seats and the Dems only fielded 56 candidates this time, and there are probably examples of it being mathematically impossible altogether.Wait here a minute? How many unopposed Democratic constituencies are that?
It looks like one of those old Singaporean elections, where it was declared already on nomination day that the PAP had won, because in a majority (often a vast majority) of the constituencies, only the PAP had fielded candidates.
They have when it's a Republican with a Green and Libertarian on the ballot paper IIRC.Some US states are like that - in the Arkansas house, there are 100 seats and the Dems only fielded 56 candidates this time, and there are probably examples of it being mathematically impossible altogether.
However, they would never declare a win already on the day, because in America theoretically you could have people win on write-ins or something.
