Located on the edge of the northwestern United States, almost 5,000 kilometers (3,100 miles) from the White House, Clallam County is the only American county to hold the honorary title of “presidential election bellwether”: since Reagan's election in 1980, Clallam has voted for the winning candidate in every presidential election. Democratic voter and avid follower of politics Rod Fleck says “I don't know how the county will vote in November. I'm following it very closely, and it looks very close.” IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
