2. I sure hope this is not a Dem-inspired dirty trick.

The asshole Glenn Morgan here in WA recruited multiple Robert Fergusons.

Following cease-and-desist warnings from the attorney general’s campaign, both men withdrew prior to the filing deadline, leaving the current Washington Governor, Bob Ferguson, as the only candidate with that name on the ballot.

I agree we need to battle GOP redistricting with Dem redistricting, but this sort of dirty trick -- recruiting people with the same name to confuse things -- is too much of an asshole-ish stretch for me.
