Orange County continued its trend toward an electorate that looks more like the rest of the Democratic state when it supported Proposition 47 – which reduces some non-violent felonies to misdemeanors – with 53 percent of the vote.
Republicans had a good mid-term election nationwide and in Orange County wrested two state legislative seats from Democrats. But a Register analysis of Prop. 47 found a broader ongoing shift of county voters.
The county GOP advantage over Democrats has steadily declined from 22 percentage points in 1990 to 9 points today, with little indication that the slide’s end is in sight. The area’s shifting demographics – particularly growth in Latino and other ethnic minority voter rolls – are typically cited as the biggest factor.

Soon, the PRI will be the majority party in OC as Santa Ana overflows its boundaries and eats Newport Beach.
Queue Capt. Obvious!
California and Orange County have really changed.
Young people today find it hard to believe that California was once reliably Republican in presidential elections.
When Clinton carried California in the 1992 election, it was the first time California voted Democrat since the Johnson landslide of ‘64.
Will the GOP ever be competitive in California, ever again? Time will tell.
Condado de Orange
Santa Ana is Tijuana Del Norte. In short, Orange County California is one of the showcases of the Mexican reconquest of our country.
Yup. Quite obvious.
The OC isn’t an island. It has undergone massive demographic changes which have impacted it along with the rest of the state and caused a massive decline in Republican Party registration throughout the entire state.
That’s what Section 8 housing is designed to do... import Democrat voters into Republican strongholds.
Not very encouraged by the results from the election two weeks ago.
On a smaller scale, Vietnamese have expanded from just Westminster into Garden Grove and other areas. I hope this will become a bigger trend. Industrious and somewhat conservative.
Santa Ana is hopeless and up into parts of Anaheim.
Yes. The Asian vote could prove to be the critical swing vote going forward.
Although I think CA is going to be very deep blue for a while. The GOP here is all but dead and operates on a shoestring.
There would have to be some major changes among the ideology of the general population for me to believe that a turnaround is in the works.
I was horrified to learn yesterday that mass murderer Charles Manson was granted a marriage license in prison. This has me up in arms, but the rest of the state doesn’t seem to care or they laughing it off.
I see nothing wrong with that at all.
Well Excuuuuuse me for being so superficial and shallow!
Shall we have a weighty discussion on the possibilities of Mexican Nationalist political parties and institutions becoming dominant in once heavily John Birch Society country?
Or can the self indulgent denizens of the OC beach cities finally admit that it’s their own fault for going after ever cheaper labor and thinking that somehow they would all stay on “their” side of the freeway?
Neither do I.
Laughing off.
If inmates can marry then this guy can too. The tragedy is that someone would marry him.
I read a news story last year that the asian immigration (legal) was outpacing the hispanic immigration (legal) in CAL. It’s the illegals that significantly bump up the hispanc numbers.
I saw that in the paper this morning. They had Republican in bright red letters to gain attention to the story. Looked to me like the writers were very happy to wright that report. So slowly but surely even Orange County will become a cesspool.
You're on to something.
Eventually the Mexican voters will chafe at their role at the bottom of the Democrat plantation (mission?) hierarchy - with self-hating leftist whites like Brown, Boxer and Feinstein at the top. A more explicitly Hispanic-supremacist party identity can't be far off.
PRI - why not?
Mexifornia is the role model for the Republican party establishment. If Republicans in the rest of the country would just be more welcoming to the flood of immigrants displacing us, the immigrants would like them and vote Republican just like they are doing in Mexifornia.
Wait a minute.
