This is such a fucking crisis, and nobody does anything about it. New England is an ideological mix--almost a 50/50 split. But the Dems totally dominate and besides letting a few pet "conservatives" hold office, they eat up all the elections. Because every ground-level Dem group has teams who go to housing developments, old folks' homes, etc. and "help them" fill out a bunch of ballots, collect, and deliver them, pushing it from split to 60/40 or 70/30 in their favor.
"Mail-in balloting" has made this problem at least twice as bad. Always one way, always in one direction. Personally I wish this shit was cracked down on. But if we must operate as corrupted savages in this fashion, I at least wish there was counter-shittery that goes the other way sometimes.
