Well, a fair number of them don't want a working federal government period. Easier to get away with other antics if you don't have one.
(With all the hubub about the movie, I decided to finally read Killers of the Flower Moon earlier this year. One angle that was brought up about the emergence of the FBI was that before its existence, there really wasn't any way to investigate/prosecute much of anything if the local authorities weren't interested -- or were the ones who were behind the crimes. You have a crooked local/state authority, there's nothing that can be done about it. Which of course is how a lot of areas were run. Some would probably like to get back to that.)
