but we still can't quite shake their electoral importance. We have been dealing with them on the state level in NC since 2010. They are really hateful and incompetent. Horrible for business and quite stupid to boot. We could vote them out legit if the courts would step in on the partisan gerrymandering issue. Much of their ability to cling to power in the statehouses has to do with how the districts are draw in their favor right now. They don't survive with nearly as much power if we fix that. They would still be a force, but not insurmountable.
