Austin has dozens of elected officials below the state level. Voting is never futile. Vote even if you don't think you'll win because that's what motivates other people to vote, and it's the only thing you can do to delay having to actually fight an authoritarian regime.

> Austin has dozens of elected officials below the state level. Which the party of states' rights will happily run over. Republican-controlled state legislatures have no issue with overturning local government legislature to impose their agenda.

  There are hundreds of local policies that states don't touch, including things related to collecting and spending taxes. If everyone in Texas voted, it might have avoided this situation. You vote when it's hopeless until it isn't anymore.
