The rest of the ticket

So far, I have covered the top of the ticket by selecting Hillary Clinton (D) over Donald Trump

(R), Gary Johnson (L) or Jill Stein (G).  Here is the rest of the ticket.

US Senator

Richard Blumenthal (D) over Dan Carter (R), Richard Lion (L) , or Jeffery Russell (G)

US Representative

John B. Larson (D) over Matthew M. Corey (R) or S. Michael DeRosa (G)

State Senator

Beth Bye (D) over Mark Merritt (R)

State Rep. (18)

Andrew Fleischmann (D) over Rob Levine (R) 

State Rep. (19)

Chris Barnes (R) over Derek Slap (D)

In the 20th State Rep. district (Joe Verrengia-D) and the Judge of Probate (Owen Eagan-D) both are unopposed. As far as the Registrar of Voters goes, hell, flip a coin - they both get in.
