California is a bounty of interesting counties - mostly because we have so many people, so when you dig deeper into a seemingly simple county like San Bernardino you realize its quite complex.
Still... some counties that defy trends or have interesting dynamics that are underdiscussed...
1. Lake County - defies the demographics with their voting patterns, overwhelmingly white, mostly working class, yet has stayed with the Democrats
2. Stanislaus County - I know more than most people should about this county yet it baffles me. It has had distinctive swings to the right in recent years and it isn't all that clear what is going on.
3. Inyo County - just swinging dramatically to the left but doesn't really have a massive tourism presence compared to Mono County
4. Imperial County - a bit of a forgotten county that has been a loyally Democratic county but extremely socially conservative... very curious to see how it changes in the coming decade.
