Sheriff elections

One of the ironies of the election process (at least in Arkansas) is that the sheriff's department's work is done mainly outside of incorporated communities, and yet a sizeable chunk of the voters who elect them live within the cities where relatively little of their work is done. For example, in my home county, Logan, the three largest incorporated communities by themselves have collective populations of about 8400 people, or about 38% of the total county population. They have the right to vote for sheriff, of course, but most of the department's work will be done outside of the city limits.
