That is sad; voters must have lost faith in the electoral process in Fornicalia. The Newsome recall was emblematic; one word was that he was in possession of 12,000 ballots himself. Fornicalia has changed election laws so that no Republican need appear on the ballot; a Nov election can feature two front running 'Rats. Still, people should not shirk their electoral responsibility; that only further empowers the machine.
In some populous states not only was voter turnout high but the number of Republican primary voters dwarfed the number of 'Rat voters. That is how you topple the machine. PLUS, remember that in NJ a Repub truck driver unseated a powerful 'Rat, spending only $153!!! ...he ran on (popular) issues! The present Repubs keep telling us they need lots of money to win... that might cost them some elections. 😕
