23. Now, see, THERE's the reason why you should have voted in the primary.
You could have very easily become a delegate to your precinct and county conventions and then state convention. And you would have had a voice in WHO THE NEXT TDP CHAIR WILL be. As well as some interesting rule changes that will be under consideration. Also, you could have run for SDEC and had a real voice in managing the TDP.

To run over your points briefly:
- electing Molly Beth -- again, by becoming a delegate, which is easy, that kind of thing you can affect.
- caving on redistricting -- that's not the TDP, that's our elected Democrats in the state legislature. They of course do their best, but being a minority, quite often their best isn't good enough.
- recruiting judge candidates --- that's a county party thing. Can you get involved with your county party? We have something like 60 judges on the ballot this year.

And, yeah, I hear you about every statewide position. I think that things will start shifting soon, though.
