It depends on how you're looking at it. If you're talking about corruption, Mississippi has been documented as being the most corrupt state for its size. As far as laws go, you're gonna find stupid laws aren't just in California. In Louisiana, a cop can't pull you over just cuz yur not wearing a seatbelt...Some things are taxed, while others aren't...You can drive with open alcohol as long as yur not drinking it. Stupid laws abound throughout the states. Oh if you've ever been in a deul, you can't be governor of Pennsylvania.
I'm not gonna go pointing fingers saying such and such a state is the worst state. There are definitely some states that are worse than others, but no state is perfect...far from it. Each state has corruption, each state has crazy fools. I'm fully aware of how crazy some people in my state are, especially being a conservative living in a liberal state.
Oh well...I live in the most conservative county in California, so I'm good.
