This list surprised me. I was way off. Seems to be some shenanigans in a few of our southern states ???

I was going to say that SD surprised me... but then I thought - the surprise is that there is so much variation...

SB, as long as there are politicians, we cannot move anywhere to avoid corruption. It is all around us and growing...... ???

Cannot believe New Mexico didn't make the list!   Lots of corruption in this state-far too much, especially north of I-40.   Former speaker of the House of Representatives charged, convicted, and served time (not enough, IMHO) for accepting bribes to build a new county courthouse in the states largest county.   And, everytime certain candidates in an election need some more votes, suddenly "lost" ballot boxes appear in one county to put them over the top!   One election more people voted than live in the county.   Lots of graveyards have 100% turnout!

It was just a joke.  Different kinds of corruption in my two states, but probably equal in the end.

Don has a point.  We are getting way off topic with this one (and a couple others). Let's get back to posting about BBQ and outdoor cooking and leave the politics for some other forum.
