There was a lot of strategy involved in that. I'm not trying to say that it was illegal or anything, but in all seriousness it was a big push within the GOP to recruit, groom, and win down-ballot races all across the country. They did it with the intent of being able to draw districts how they wanted them and to help build their bench. It was smart and it is why there is the current trend of Demcorats being terrible at winning elections and why there has been so much difficulty in finding the next group of Democrats to run for high offices. 2020 is going to be different because 2016 was a bit of a wake-up call for them. There was no bench to pull from.
