Start small. County and city clerk positions. Focus on a unified effort on the best candidate. Grassroots got the democrats where they are at so we need to do it also. We have the voters. We need the positions. Let's stay away from the GOP. Check the people out on the local level. If you think someone might be shady or corruptible get rid of them. Look at the exact positions we lost the election integrity battles. Replace them NOW. They can't cheat if we are watching. If they are going to have ballot drop-offs we need to be taking shifts watching the crap. You stood in line to go to rallies. You line streets to get a glimpse of a motorcade. WE HAVE TO DO THIS! IF NOT US, THAN WHO?

Yes. The swamp is deep at the local levels too. The neighboring city to mine had 3 city council members arrested for corruption charges last year. And at the state level our state had a major money laundering/bribery scandal with nuclear energy companies.
Even at the super-local scale. A local golf course closes and was bought by my township like 10 years ago and turned into a park. Then about 2-3 years ago, the trustees had planned to develop the park into apartments. The public very vocally said no. They moved forward with it anyway. Turns out the main trustee also owns a construction company. Thankfully it was an election year, all 3 were voted out and the new trustees saved the park. They’re VERY transparent now. Or maybe I’m paying more attention.
It’s just incredible how widespread it is.
