American democracy really is like “county recorder [the bureaucrat you submit real estate deeds to to make them legally binding] is an elected office” and Midwestern American democracy is like “oh also it’s a partisan race”
Mfs went ham in the 1800s
Oh oops I should have opened my ballot to see that they expect me to also vote in a partisan race for county coroner
After cursory pre-vote research I have discovered that
- The Democratic candidate for county recorder is running on a platform of eliminating it as an elected office because it’s stupid to elect county recorders
- The race for county coroner is actually incredibly politicised this year
