County governments will collapse. Their main function is to act as the disbursement agency for federal programs with funds that are passed through the state. Children Services, Board of Elections. Jobs and Family Services to distribute TANF/SNAP, housing, job training, justice grants, public health

They hold SO MANY of your needed records. Deeds, surveys, building plans, surveys, road records, GIS layers used daily by so many people, for fuck's sake, they ASSIGN YOUR ADDRESSES ON NEW BUILDS
Counties are agents of the state. They're the ones with actual boots on the ground, street level bureaucrats. This is not some theoretical ideological issue it might be on the state or federal level. This will lead to agency collapse.
