Recently I learned about a man who has trained 1,000+ people to block wind and solar projects.

Election office closed due to lack of staff. This is how democracy slowly erodes. Election officials are underpaid, criticized, threatened....making it harder to recruit replacements...voting becomes less accessible. https://t.co/es3O4uhKby via @Florida Keys Weekly Newspapers
