Thank you for bringing this situation the attention it deserves. I find it hard to believe that the Sheriff’s department is doing anything other than telling us to be patient.

A tiny percentage of voters can, under the right circumstances, change the outcome for a very large percentage of citizens. The same few votes can be used to harm and punish those who fail to cooperate with the more powerful faction of their chosen political party. There’s even a word for it: the verb “to primary” someone means to set them up for an electoral loss by taking advantage of the small number of eligible voters who typically turn out for primary elections.
