I think the bigger hurdle is that a second party has to show up. We'll see what Nikki Fried decides to do from here, but, the state is largely abandoned by the Democrat Party.

I've lived in one county here for probably 15 years now and I don't think the Democrats have even bothered to run a serious candidate for any office in that time. The same failed candidate has run multiple times for Congress, always gets 30% of the vote, and every now and then some young person decides to run on their own.

It's hard to make progress when there's no opposing voice to the party in power.
