In the 2008 Sumter County presidential election where The Villages makes up a major portion of the electorate, it is interesting to note the result was overwhelmingly (63.01%) for McCain. Obama received only 36.04% of the vote. 82% of eligible voters went to the polls.

30,866 Sumter residents voted for McCain
17,655 voted for Obama

To my Sumter County friends and neighbors, isn't it nice to live in a community of so many like minded people.

Prepare for incoming!

I think the numbers show a high level of intelligence and civic pride.
