    Proud, art thou met? thy hope was to have reach’d
    The height of thy aspiring unoppos’d,
    The throne of God unguarded. John Milton, Par. Lost.

    The curling billows roll their restless tide:
    In parties now they struggle up and down,
    As armies, unoppos’d, for prey divide. Dryden.

    The people, like a headlong torrent go,
    And ev’ry dam they break or overflow:
    But unoppos’d they either lose their force,
    Or wind in volumes to their former course. Dryden.

Wikipedia

  1. unopposed

    An uncontested election is an election in which the number of candidates is the same as or fewer than the number of places available for election, so that all candidates are guaranteed to be elected. An uncontested single-winner election is one where there is only one candidate. In some uncontested elections, the normal process, of voters casting ballots and election official counting votes, is cancelled as superfluous and costly; in other cases the election proceeds as a formality. There are some election systems where absence of opposing candidates may not guarantee victory; possible factors are a quorum or minimum voter turnout; a none of the above option; or the availability of write-in candidates on the ballot.
