Geographically the State is divided into 77 counties. Each county will have a county seat. Each county seat is the center of government for that county. Politically, there are at least three parties. Democrats enjoy the majority of the voters in the State.
Republicans are next in line according to the number of voters.
Independent voters are all lumped into the third party. This group may be comprised of Communists, Socialists, Libertarians, and just those few who really feel that politics has done more to destroy America than anything. However, there are some who think this will be a shortlived event and they will again be returned to the ranks of the Independents. When they register to vote, they must select one of the parties mentioned above. Representatives to city council, county commission, and the State legislature are selected by vote in a process involving a primary for the political party followed by a general election.
