It's weird. When I voted, I saw many other names... Folks seem to think McKee was the only democrat running.

There is not a single person in the state that thought McKee was the only Democrat running. People who've been in comas for years could still name "the CVS lady with all the commercials" if you pressed them.

Hence why McKee barely squeaked out a plurality in a low-turnout primary against a field of 4 flawed candidates who didn't really have great campaigns.

My experience was "if you don't vote for mckee, another person might get elected and lose to the Republican" and "there's others besides mckee? I don't know or care."

I'm sure people had opinions but I think nearly 7/10 democratic voters not voting for McKee spot volumes and just the low turnout in general.

McKee was about as vulnerable as any primary candidate could be. He just rode a slow wave of indifference past weak competition. If Foulkes had even 10 seconds worth of public policy experience or 1 of the 2 no-chance protest candidates realized the stakes and drops out? I don't think McKee wins.
