Well, I am in Washington state, one of the worst of the worst. We have had mail in ballots for over a decade and cheating is easy. All the ballot checkers have to do is reject any ballot with the claim that the signature doesn't match. We have a horrible governor and a democratic run state legislature. I worked hard to support Republican candidates in the mid terms to no avail. So, for me going local has failed and it's hard to know how to proceed. Nevertheless, I really appreciate your words of support, and I will try to keep fighting, even if it is in little ways. I only use cash, I try to talk sanely to everyone I can and I am surely grateful for voices such as the ones on this substack.
