It's Votin' Day Here in the PRC

I have done my civic, albeit completely futile, duty and voted for some of the carefully vetted candidates presented for my choice.  A few of them were even good folks.  (I voted for you, James Hanink.  Yup, I'm the one.)

"Futile?" I hear you ask.  Indeed.  The Democrats have got this state, and especially this corner of the state,  laced up tighter than an 1890's corset.  They don't even have to rig the vote the way they do elsewhere.  Although, they do.  No idea why.  Force of habit, I guess.
