New research alert--four more years of prosecutor election data, complete with a report that includes national analysis and state -by-state analysis.

[The Prosecutors and Politics Project @ppp_unc]

Nationally, fewer than one quarter of prosecutors ever faced an opponent in either the primary or general election. Contested elections were less likely in small population jurisdictions or when an incumbent ran for reelection.
This is a decrease from previous years.
