Not true. It doesn’t matter how we vote here. With a one party rule they just cheat like hell. We could not even remove Gascon. There were 200,000 more votes cast then were needed to remove him, but over 200,000 ballots were thrown out.
When the 90s rolled around and I was still in San Diego, I realized that my vote no longer mattered. I had become a source of tax revenue for CA, but the state no longer served my interests. It took a while to decide where to go. In the final analysis, Idaho met my needs. Not 100%, but the list of pro vs con was most strongly weighted pro. I lament a lack of electronics parts stores, ham radio stores, good quality book stores and longer stretches of nice weather to enjoy riding my motorcycles. Amazon and other internet sellers can supply some of the parts. Radio Shack really went downhill. Very little meets my needs and what is present is priced 3x higher than it should be.
Amazon, Gigaparts, Ham Radio Outlet, Digi-Key, Mouser, Sparkfun and Adafruit provide adequate selection at a fair price. Everything is drawn out over weeks vs doing it in a couple days with locally sourced parts. One project remains on hold as a critical component hasn't been manufactured since COVID hit the factory.
its the vote folks....they have stolen elections for a long time and each year, they make up new laws to keep themselves in office forever....
its the mail in vote here in Washington...we haven't had a pub gov or even legislature for a couple of decades now.....
