Really disappointed...just looked at our local primary ballot in PA...many positions w no Dem candidate!

We live in the boonie burbs 50 miles NW of Philadelphia and election is May 20th. And while statewide positions have Dem candidates, half the local county positions have no Dems. (PA is one of the backward primary states where you have to be a declared Dem or Repug and can only vote for folks in your party and positions that do not have a party affiliation. which are few). No Dems running for Sheriff, Coroner, Prothonotary on and on and the one that really gets me-- Director of Elections!!! I know it is hard to win in these times, but really hard to win when you don't field a team!!! Gonna be making calls because this has got to stop.
