鈥淥nce you kind of start on a line, you go one or two and think people continue," said Proto. "Although we are known as a ticket splitting state, we鈥檝e always been a ticket splitting state. And I think we saw less ticket splitting in 2022 than we have seen in the past."
Proto adds that Republicans had a good message but failed to connect with enough voters.
