		Census data from 1960 illustrates the inequities of the county unit system.

	2002-033 \| 7/16/2002 \| Kansas Attorney General Opinion
		All county roads in a county road unit system are required to be classified pursuant to K.S.A. Those classifications and the width requirements of K.S.A. 68-116 apply uniformly to all county roads, including local service roads, and may not be modified by the passage of a charter resolution.
		Additionally, a county may exercise its home rule powers by passing a charter resolution to exempt itself from any legislative act, or part thereof, that is applicable to the particular county but not uniformly applicable to all counties.
		In conclusion, all county roads in a county road unit system are required to be classified pursuant to K.S.A. A board of county commissioners may not change or add to those classifications by adopting a charter resolution.

	MCLEAN COUNTY UNIT DISTRICT 5
		A grading (marking) system is the school's most important exacting medium of communication.
		It sums up an individual's quality of achievement over a set period of time in particular studies for the student himself, for his family, and for those responsible for his future school, college, job placement and for future recognition.
		Since the entire faculty uses the same system of grading and those inside and outside the school are responsible for student placement, honors, and awards evaluation of the student's grades, a basic standard of uniformity in marking must be sought.

	Southerner: October 18, 1954 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		In order to eliminate the imminent possibility of the "city bosses" controlling state politics, the infamous County Unit System was first introduced, and it has remained as part of the state constitution ever since.
		In every state primary the unit system of voting, which was designed for the protection of the smaller counties, is by virtue of its unfair allotment of unit votes leaving literally hundreds of thousands of Georgia city voters little voice in their state government.
		The principle of the County Unit System basically may be a good idea, but until it is revised to balance out with latest census figures, it will be neither fair nor democratic.

	Mississippi Office of the State Auditor
		If an investigation conducted by the State Auditor’s Office reveals a supervisor in a unit system has directed road crews or operated county equipment, he or she has 30 days to comply with the provisions of the law.
		The law then states, "Thereafter, the State Tax Commission shall withhold all allocations and payments to the county that would otherwise be payable under sections 27-65-75 (4), 27-5-101 (b)(vi) and 65-33-45." If the action of the supervisor continues for 90 days, the funds would be forfeited and redistributed between the other 81 counties.
		This obviously adversely affects the entire county and I feel it is unfair for the entire county to suffer because of the actions of one supervisor.

	The Georgia County Unit System
		The Supreme Court shot the County Unit System down in 1962 in the Gray v.
		I'm guessing that the "top 8 counties" that you mention had over a certain population and that allocation of the votes was based on such, correct?
		In order for a new county to formed, all of the affect counties and the new county have to have at least 1/124 of the population of the State and if anew county was formed, the size of the State Senate would increase by 1.
