Hey Americans, feeling politically powerless? You have an election tomorrow. Fascists are targeting those boring state and local positions and using them for everything from abortion restrictions to book bans to criminalizing trans healthcare. It's up to you to stop them.

@UncivilServant @maxkennerly Note that this tool will not show candidates in your local elections, which may be the only thing on the ballot. (I just checked mine and it only showed federal and state officials who aren't up for election this year, and not the city councilors who are.)

@wollman @maxkennerly Thanks for the heads-up. It showed a local referendum in my city (whether to allow a casino), in addition to the state legislative races on the ballot.

That being said, Richmond is a state capital, even if a rather small and sleepy state capital, so that might play a role. They may not have much info on local races outside of major metro areas and state capitals.

Virginia has statewide elections tomorrow, the first with new district maps as well.
