The problem here is with the people of Fresno. Fresno was populated years ago by mostly southern and border-state Democrats, coming from WV, OK, AR, and TX. These Democrats expect the national government to provide them with cradle-to-grave services. So they have voted for nearly every liberal who has appeared on their ballot. Did they, for instance, support Edmund Brown, Sr., and Edmund Brown, Jr., in the gubernatorial campaigns of 1958, 1962, 1966, 1974, and 1978? (Is this part of the Condit House district?) In voting so routinely for liberals, they have also chosen heavily Democrat school boards even if the board members were elected on nonpartisan ballots. These Democrat school boards are the best-kept secret in American politics. Even in some of the most conservative places in the country, Democrat liberals running on "improving education" platforms routinely win low-turnout school board elections. Conservatives just don't recruit their own to run for school board seats and don't organize against the liberal elites running these boards. These elites also tend to hire mostly Democrat teachers and administrators too. They don't ask them outright if they are Democrat, but they have subtle ways of phrasing the interview questions to select a Democrat they prefer. So the fault is in the people -- who either actively chose liberal school boards or passively allow them to be elected. I am not optimistic about the people of America, or in Fresno for that matter.

Are you talking about Fresno, California?

If you are you need to visit the Secretary of State's web site and review the Fresno County voting results from the last few general elections.

No! And they are not all liberals in Fresno, as you portray. The population comes from every State in the Union and every country in the world. Educate yourself before you sound off.
