7. This is a good point - a lot of the Dem election board officials have been chased away

The MAGAs have worn down the resolve of many long-suffering Democratic election board officials. Too many unpleasant confrontations, nasty (untrue) complaints filed, credentials challenged, etc. It's been going on since the Chump's first election and it has only gotten worse in the last 9.5 years. A lot of Democrats gave up and quit, and many have been replaced by Rs because they saw the openings and grabbed them.

It just so happens that I live in a very blue city (Pittsburgh) and a mostly blue county (Allegheny County PA) so I think we're still OK here. But your point is that not all areas are OK, and Dems need to step up wherever possible. Become election board volunteers, if it comes to that, just to be in on the decision-making process during election times. It's important!
