Although the county includes the relatively liberal town of [[Bisbee, Arizona|Bisbee]], as well as the city of [[Douglas, Arizona|Douglas]] which has a large Latino population, this is outweighed by the heavily Republican tilt of the more populous [[Sierra Vista, Arizona|Sierra Vista]], which is adjacent to [[Fort Huachuca]] and thus has a heavy military presence.
