If you are so unfortunate as to have been reading the local rag since the last election, you’d be under the impression that the county has gone Democrat. I’ve seen at least six stories, all nothing but anecdotes, about how many people are supposedly changing their party registration from Republican to Democrat. Well, if that really did happen, all those people who changed their registration didn’t vote in the primary yesterday:

Party
Primary ballots (2007)
Republican 37,120
Democrat 24,894
