    Bad Orange man had to work hard to lose Orange County by 9 points in 2016. The last time a Dem won Orange county was FDR in 1936.

    So the 500% surge in voting is for Biden?

    Orange County today isn't the Orange County of even 10 years ago let alone 20 years ago. Any belief that Orange County remains some conservative/Republican strong hold died years ago. The demographics of the county have changed dramatically in the last 25 years and like most other wealthy areas in the state the voters have moved to the left.

    Exactly. It went blue mid terms 2018 which is why this news seemed somewhat relevant to discussions here about how Newsom and the left have pissed off the OC among other areas

    I voted today too. Not all early voting is the left

    If you have 5 times as many OC ballots coming in so far it is a legit question to wonder who they are for

    OC is still massively small government conservative but California legalized ballot harvesting. 100% they go into section 8 housing and collect ballots. I have friends that do it. It's not even a secret that "housing development" is code for "turn OC blue".

    And the OC GOP is getting in on the Harvest this time around

    No it's not. It's been trending left since the 2000s

    Looks like the Democrats are just as weak as ever there it's just not as strong GOP as it once was and now it's more independent.

    The GOP actually has to work to win elections there now but it's far from some lost cause like most of the urban coastal LA counties.
