I moved from Maryland which wasn't too bad a place except for the politics. Heavily gerrymandered. Look up Sarbane's Mayland's 3rd Congressional district (his father a long term senator). All four of my Marland representatives lived in the adjacent county (with very different demographics) due to gerrymandering. Our county had 40% and their 60% so nobody from our county could ever win. No voter ID. Non-US citizens can vote in municipal elections. I saw someone's ballot get rejected and the poll worker told the voter he couldn't vote for two people for president. Poll worker had sample ballots on who to vote for.
My representative blocked me on Facebook when I simply posted facts on a candidate. When I told her my health care premiums were no longer affordable to me due to the ACA, she emailed me a copy of a New York Times editorial. Weather is pretty cold January - April with high humidity that makes you feel even colder. Enough ice and snow storms to challenge drivers. The main thing I miss is the very high quality water supply.
