With retail and health care among the county's biggest employers, issues like local businesses are decided by the officials voters choose.

Around 13,500 adults here did not vote for president. Some aren't eligible, yet the rest are untapped power: one more voter in every 20 of them would mean about 677 extra Ware County ballots, enough to change the result in many close contests.
