Even if that were so, the majority of "locals" in my area of are brainwashed liberal nut jobs. Nothing would change. And if by some miracle they voted intelligently, the bosses in Sacramento would gerrymander voting districts to get their desired liberal result. We're in a heap of trouble.
With locals, an organized community could get up front and personal with the goof balls.
Mandates from Sacramento and DC leave us with “no one in change”.
