North Dakota has a history of socialism. For example, a previous out and out socialist governor a hundred some years ago, a current covert socialist governor (R), a state owned bank, a state owned mill and elevator, a state run workman's comp disability program, and a republican super majority legislature that has been infiltrated by democrats claiming to be republicans because there are very few places in this state that an individual can get elected as a democrat. The voters are ok if they would every get truly informed over how their state government is being run, but the state governing class sucks.
