Because nobody pays attention to local politics. Idiots run, and people just vote for a random name or the name that sounds most familiar to them. It has become very difficult for people to learn more about their local candidates now that local news has mostly died out due to the reliance on social media for most news sources. It's a problem

And to me this is the maddening part of people that want to bitch about everything political. They can sit there and go on for hours with their Biden/Trump bitches, or for the big named people in Congress that represent other States; yet they no nothing about the local mayors, city council, school board...

Then again, why should I expect them to pay attention to offices that will actually affect them when they can't even pay attention to the big races that actually make headlines. Looking at the election results from this weekend, you still have people casting votes for Presidential candidates that already dropped out of the race
