Platner got about as many votes in the primary as both democratic candidates in the 2020 primary combined.

Annoyingly there aren't numbers I can easily find on how many votes Collins got. Because shes unopposed, the news doesnt feel its important to give actual numbers. I think whether she got less, more, or similar numbers to her 2020 election seems like relevant news knowledge.
