I've been exploring the 2013 House of Delegates election results a bit lately. Here's a funny result of the two-party system and our efficiently gerrymandered districts. In orange are the
59 districts whose representative's did not face either a primary challenger or a serious opponent in the general election. Of those 59,
42 received
90% or more of the vote in their district. Not many elected officials in developed countries can boast vote totals like that. The 5th District's Israel D. O'Quinn takes the cake with no primary and 98.7% of the general election vote, just 1.3% short of the percentage captured by Kim Jong Un in his most recent election.
