gertrude1907.bsky.social @gertrude1907.bsky.social · 21/09/2026The biggest election problem is not "voter fraud" it's voter apathy. If 100% of eligible voters were registered, and 100% of registered voters went to the polls for all local, state and federal elections things would change. Please vote in the midterms even if the Democratic candidate isn't perfect. 000
