22. any change in elections has to be done at the local or state level
I know it's hard, but we have to pester our local election officials to a) Question Electronic voting
and b) prohibit partisan ownership of machines and c) insist election officials cannot also be party campaign officials and d) switch to instant runoff and e) demand auditable elections.

If there are any public meetings in your area, show up and talk if you can. Bring video cameras. Confront the officials if the meeting turns out to be a sham.

Write letters to officals and congress, write letters to the editor, make phone calls.

I'm as pessimistic as you are about the situation. It really seems hopeless, and the shitpie in Ohio is really intolerable. But there is no need to give up in advance. We should go down fighting, not because we will win, but for our own peace of mind.

and remember, whenever anything as powerful as the Republinazi movement happens, there is always a backlash. When it comes, it will be huge.
