In my county there are 119,000 republicans, 83,000 Democrats and 59,000 Independents. So, even though the county is red, it is not overwhelmingly so, in fact, Democrats have gained on republicans in voter registration within the last two years. Our problem is that young people mostly leave the county, if they go off to college, though more are staying in the big healthcare complex in the county.
