[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Putting my political hat on: I think that this is motivated primarily by upcounty Republicans' fond hope that they might be able to elect a Republican to the county council if they got themselves a suitable one-ninth of the county for the county council district. I don't think they're right, because 1/9 of 1.051 million is still 117,000 people, and Poolesville plus the whole Ag Reserve probably doesn't add up to much more than 20,000. But that seems to be the idea.[/quote] The most conservative district, D2, regularly puts up Republican challengers who lose 70-30. D1 possibly similar. The other districts don't even bother to put up Republican candidates. It's a one-party county. General elections would be more competitive if they had a Democratic Party vs. Socialist Party matchup.
