and not just a shift in method of voting...

The polling place I attend, in a reddish purple ward, was busier than usual for a mid-term with all 8 voting booths busy a bit before 10 am and a short line.

Several state offices had only republican and libertarian candidates running.

So that fell to writing in names.
