Orange County, long a Republican stronghold, has officially turned blue.

The county that nurtured Ronald Reagan’s conservatism and is the resting place of Richard Nixon is now home to 547,458 registered Democrats, compared with 547,369 Republicans, according to statistics released early Wednesday morning by the county Registrar of Voters. And the number of voters not aligned with a political party has surged in recent years, and now tops 440,770, or 27.4% of the county’s voters.

It’s heading that way, but I wouldn’t use voter registration in California as a reliable means of measuring anything other than left-wing activism. A good voter registration purge and cleanup would probably shift those numbers back for a few more years.

And, they all have the same address; an apartment complex owned by /James Brown’s Wig/ Maxine Waters.

It's not just Republican's leaving, it's mass immigration of people into the area and I'm not talking those from Mexico, Central America, and South America.

There are people that Prager would say should preach what they practice and vote accordingly.

So? The People’s Sewer of Kommiefornia is lost, and has been, for some time. There are still some good people there. I occasionally talk to both of them.

What can they “do” about ballot harvesting? It’s not illegal. California allows people to go out and collect other people’s absentee ballots.

We were made into the home of refuges! We’ve got a classic case of a two-tiered society ...

And hundreds of people living in tents sprouting typhoid.

THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of CHINESE on worker visas have flooded Orange County AND THEY ALL GET DRIVER'S LICENSES..

The State then COUNTS THEM as DEMONRAT voters and SUBMITS PROVISIONAL BALLOTS FOR THEM (ballot harvesting).

Done, as in WE'RE DONE.

Not by law. There is one ongoing now due to a court challenge by an independent group. But much more needs to be done.

Orange County, CA is a great place, great climate and nice in general.

Those of you who are mobile and consider moving might seriously consider it.

Make it a conservative strong hold again. Take it back from the liberals.

Americans increasingly value Big Government free-stuff and its theater of false security to freedom.

Its all paid for with printed, unbacked, centrally-controlled money (and the massive debt it entails) - a relatively new phenomenon in the history of the Republic.

Yup. Some CA counties are de facto provinces of China and India. And vote accordingly...

Doesn’t California have Motor Voter where you have to ask NOT to be regestered to vote at the DMV when getting a Drivers License? Ironically they also allow Illegal aliens to get Drivers licenses without questions??

California is now a liberal mess and deteriorating fact. Just don’t come calling me when they want a bailout.

how does the state submit provisional ballots. That’s the purview of the country registrar.

How does provisional ballot get counted if the person is not registered? Provisional ballots have to be sent to the registrar who is responsible for determining the qualification of the person or if they already voted in another precinct.

Not sure how your scenario plays out.
