Attacks on democracy seep down to school boards, election offices
The toxic acrimony of national politics is seeping down to the local level - and the consequences look ever more ominous.
In recent weeks, school board meetings across the country have descended into screaming matches, often over mask mandates.
Meanwhile, election workers are still reckoning with the forces unleashed in last year's presidential election - and the fear in some states that new laws mean they could be sued or harassed by partisans in the future.
In many places there is fear - fear for the safety of the low- and mid-level officials who do the unglamorous work that keeps democracy knitted together; and fear for what happens if they decide it's just not worth it.
