this is a Democratic Party primary, so it's up to the Democrats to pick wherever - it's their game.

It could be the democrats are trying to suppress voters, and that was alleged last election by McClellan's opponents. But the Party just claims this is all it has the money and organizational power to do.

They have a better excuse in this case, 5 places in a senate district isn't nuts. But it's politics, so there might be subtle Democratic party shenanigans too
