With July’s primary election approaching, Republicans and Democrats are looking ahead to the general election. Though the county GOP is hoping to keep Carroll County red, those on the opposite side of the aisle hope a different story will be told in November.

Frank McMinn, vice chairman of the Carroll County Republican Party, said the upcoming general election will likely inspire a groundswell in a county that is already vastly conservative, with roughly 75 percent of the electorate registered as Republicans. The reason: general discontent with government, and it’s not limited to one political party.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s Republicans or Democrats,” McMinn said. “If we have a Republican or a Democrat who is not doing their job, they need to be out of there. This country is in dire straits now, and people are fed up.”
