===Comparison With Other Parties=== | ===Comparison With Other Parties=== | ||
More than half of all voters in Santa Clara County are registered Democratic. The Republican Party has only about 1/3 as many. The second-largest group of voters is independents ("no party preference"). Among the smaller parties, American Independent has the largest count, but this is widely believed to be just a result of voters not knowing what it represents, and thinking they are signing up as independent voters. The Green Party and the Peace and Freedom Party each have much smaller numbers of registrants than the LP. | |||
