Local elections were especially contentious here in my city -- a former police officer switched to the GOP and lost, then in parallel a member of congress decided not to seek another term after it was pointed out he was in a cult. Then on top of all that you had the presidential election. I ended up reading a lot of Sun Tzu and python books because of it.
