Redder and Bluer States: Are We Seeing a Rise of One-Party Rule in U.S. Governments?

The presence of legitimate competition in business is one of the hallmarks of a healthy economy. Competition is needed in sports to make games interesting and keep fans invested. It’s needed in various other businesses so that customers can “vote with their wallet” by going with the best deals and making businesses respond by catering to said customers, such as with cars, restaurants, computers, and music. The same goes for politics. One of the most important attributes for a government to have is accountability. That accountability comes, in large part, through competition. If there isn’t another real option to vote for, there is no incentive for a lone candidate to listen to voters that aren’t necessarily enthused with said candidate.
