NEW: In 2024, a remote, cash-strapped county blamed malfunctioning ballot printers for a disastrous election.

Very few actors have had such a big impact on my life from an early age - first as Captain Picard and then as Professor Xavier.
What a loss. What an actor.
Also, a loud critic of Trump and Brexit and a proud socialist.
