After years of one-party dominance, some of the most consequential opposition to Republican government now comes from a minority within the Republican majority.
Only 5,745 votes were cast in the Republican primary, with Duggar receiving 2,951 and Simpson 2,794.
It may come from angering the relatively small number of voters, activists and organizations capable of determining a Republican primary.
In a one-party-dominant state, much of that discipline must come from within the governing party itself.
Alabama Republicans no longer face an opposition party powerful enough to defeat them across most of the state.
