    Why do the voters keep voting for these people in primaries? I couldn’t believe when they reelected Diane Feinstein when she was already nearly 90.

      Name recognition. Most people aren’t paying attention to anything, they’ll look at a ballot, see the name that looks familiar and choose that one.

        About to say the same thing, Dianne Feinstein’s primary campaign outspent everyone else’s so had the most impressions plus the name recognition of being a senator for approx 300years means a lot of people knew of her.
