    There shouldn’t be a legal battle to restore democracy. It should be baked into our culture to the point that the previous town leadership is punished by being completely disregarded / disrespected.

    It’s like not recognizing a state. Non democratic institutions should be walked over like they don’t exist.

      I mean, when your door to door “get out the vote” campaign has to visit less than 200 people…

      It’s actually quite brave because that’s the kind of place that opens fire when someone drives up their mile long driveway.
