In the latest milestone of Orange County's shifting political milieu, Republicans' share of voter registration has fallen below 40 percent for the first time in the county's history.
That's 8 percentage points more than the Democrats' share but marks an ongoing slide from Republicans' 22-point dominance in 1990, the GOP's zenith in the county, according to county elections statistics updated this week.
The growth in voters with no party preference -- at 24 percent, up from 10 percent in 1990 -- is a key part of the shift.

“And when we tried to halt this with Prop 187 we had Jack Kemp, Bill Bennett, Dubya, and a host of other treason lobby Republicans helping the invaders.”
Indeed...also Steve Moore of Heritage, Hugh Hewitt along with Cesar Conda (Rubio’s chief of staff and the guy who owns Paul Ryan) and Grover Norquist. The GOP destroyed Prop. 187...the same people who are after Trump. Follow the $$....
What a sad commentary for the former land of “B-1 Bob”. He didn’t pay attention to stoking the fires at home and lost to Loretta Sanchz, a fake Mexican who has now invited in every scum from south of the border, and has now shown her sister how to scam the system and get herself elected too.
The place has just changed....gone Lib, gone Dim.
Gone immigrant......
You are right...I had many Hispanic friends.And their families had lived there many years.
I dated Hispanic girls.....
The thing I don't think you are seeing...is the illegal immigration that is ruining Calif. It's the not the legal 3rd, 4th generation of native Hispanic's that are ruining the state.
It's the illegals.....!!
I thought illegal immigration was a problem in 1986 when President Reagan instituted amnesty.
It made the blood vessels pop out on my neck.
Since then, I have come to accept the regional history, the role of flow of people from Mexico, etc.
I would prefer it to be different, but it is not going to change by much, and is probably not the most pressing topic.
I consider the overall economic trends to be problematic. High taxes and regulations together with high costs, pushing companies into moving away.
And over paid, over benefited government workers, too.
None of those topics are driven by illegals. And I think that a lot of people we may assume are illegal, are not illegal.
I know an extremely successful large painting contractor. Very conservative. Dislikes illegal immigration. BUT when he needs competent, reliable workers, he has no choice but to hire people he suspects are illegal.
He says the anglos get drugged or drunk with their first check, don’t show up for work at all, etc.
Fixed it.
Not because the "anglos" wouldn't work...but because the illegals..would work for less.
Concrete workers, roofers, carpenter's, plumber's, ditch diggers, you name it....I watched it.
And guy's like your friend....helped cause it. Because he wanted cheaper labor. Period.
Yes, you make a good point about taxes and reg's....
Just another reason I left in '98....
The state has gone to hell in a handbasket.........I saw it coming in the 80's.....
The correct spelling for that would be “CESS POOL”.
Just a dumb old plumber.
They are not dying. They meet for breakfast every Thursday at the Denny’s off the 5 fwy in Newport Beach, table 6. There’s an open seat if you want to join them.
Immigration, sure, but even White Californians are different from what they were a generation or two back.
My last trip to OC was a shock. Throngs of people everywhere, but it looked like the United Nations.
I asked myself what in the world they were all producing.
All I could come up with for an answer was: More debt and higher taxes. Because the fact is that a large proportion of them are living off government checks, one way or another.
It just ain’t sustainable. At some point the victim of parasites keels over and dies.
B-1 Bob was completely useless at addressing the immigration problem until Loretta Sanchez stole his House seat. There’s no doubt that vote fraud was a big factor in her first win but after that the demographics of the county were changing fast enough that she didn’t have to cheat to win.
You’ll be pleased to know that she’s running for Barbara Boxer’s Senate seat....
Thanks for correcting me teacher.
You are welcome to the class, student.
I expect excellent performance from all class members.
(considering how atrocious my spelling is and how many times I have to consult the dictionary)
