From Indiana: GOP can't find candidates for city council, judge, clerk

TERRE HAUTE — The general election’s most competitive Terre Haute City Council district race will not have a Republican challenging the Democrat in the contest.

... The Vigo County Republican Party did not fill any of the four City Council candidate vacancies, or for the city judge and city clerk openings, in its ballot for the upcoming election.

The party only has one candidate for the City Council at-large seats. Two more at-large hopefuls could’ve been nominated since voters will elect three of the candidates to the City Council.

Republican Party chairman Bill Treadway especially wanted to fill the slots in the 6th District and city judge races since no incumbents were running, but ultimately couldn’t find people to fill the ticket.

This is very interesting. I think this is quite telling about the state of the Republican Party when they can't field candidates at the local level of a Red State. Something big is brewing, I don't think this is a unique situation. People don't want to be associated with the Republican label. It's almost anti-social to out yourself as a Republican.
