25. It takes true courage to be an Elections official these days

Even in a blue state like New Jersey (where many areas are blue) . We have the same problem in Pennsylvania, with a few solid-blue counties and the rest are half & half, or not blue at all. The County Election officials must all follow the laws of our state, regardless of their personal political convictions.

If they can't do that, they have no business applying for the job.

This is a big THANK-YOU to all County Elections officials because the vast majority are good Americans!
