"The eight new members of the Ottawa County Board of Commissioners had run for office promising to “thwart tyranny” in their lakeside Michigan community of 300,000 people."

All of Ottawa county has a population of 5,000 according to Wikipedia. Don't believe a word of ANYTHING written by the Washington Post.

I think they were referring to the whole county as the “community.” Population is 296,000.
