Republicans have 83 % of the counties in the US.

Yes, but most of those counties are sparsely populated, while the beneficiary (non-taxpaying) class is vastly overrepresented in Democrat-dominated provinces. What we need to restore is the idea of voting as a vital privilege of citizenship and not an absolute right of those who happen to show up, and whose franchise derives not from a personal stake in self-governance but from a desire to obtain unearned benefits.

Indeed. Illinois governor Quinn was elected, carrying only two counties in the entire state. His opponent carried the other 103.
