Both probably. I’ve lived in Utah and California (among other states) and I would characterize both as having the majority of their politicians unreasonably secure in their jobs and power. In Utah, most of the politicians were more at risk of losing your seat due to a primary challenge from someone further right than you than general election. In California they have at least fixed that a bit with open primaries, so at least the moderate people can make it to
the general election. In both states, at least, the governors tend to be slightly more moderate than the rest of the politicians.
It is possibly true that the unreasonably secure don’t make up more than 50% of the votes, I’m not sure.
