Orange County, longtime GOP stronghold, now has more registered Democrats than Republicans

By Seema Mehta, Melanie Mason   |||   Aug. 7, 2019

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.

The question now is not whether the Republican party is finished or not in California, but more importantly:
What party will replace it?

My Fep Dana Rohrabacher, lost last Nov.

His platform included allowing a property owner, to refuse to sell to a homosexual.

The state and national association of realtors withdrew their customary support.

Why Rohrabacher came up with this for the first time ever,indicates me erhaps he was committing suicide by voter.
