If I don't have any better reason to vote one way or the other in a given race, I'll vote for the challenger if there's only one (to offset the name-recognition factor and other advantages of incumbency). If they're running unopposed, I will either leave it blank or vote for them if I think they're actually doing a good job.
If there's no incumbent, or more than one challenger, I'll hopefully have a better reason to vote one way or the other; I may make a semi-random choice based on name/address (as a vague proxy for socioeconomic standing which would affect views in office) or just leave it blank.
