There's always Utah, which has only one party (Republican) with the races decided in this party's caucuses, which are held at LDS stake presidents' homes and attended by a faithful who sustain the leadership. Without the Romster in 2016, they'll be disappointed but keeping his disdain for the 47% in mind as they did in 2012. Republicans don't need Citizens United when they don't even need TV advertising to win. I manage to vote in this mess. You'd be surprised how many dissident votes there are: They've got a ways to go to match the 99.98% unanimity of Soviet elections.
