Here we only show the name of county which is large enough in cartogram, so some county name will appear and some disappear as time goes.

Hope you enjoy .

The major story in California over the past twenty years has been the shift of Southern California into the Democratic column, which has turned California from being a Democratic-leaning or Likely Democratic state-as it was from 1992-2004, into the Titanium Safe Democratic state it has been since 2008. Obama in 2008, Clinton in 2016, and Biden in 2020 each made significant gains in that region. Obama flipped Riverside and San Bernardino (which had been double-digit Bush victories in 2004), along with the Bush-won counties of San Luis Obispo, Ventura, and San Diego permanently into the Democratic column, increased Democratic margins in Imperial and Los Angeles Counties, and brought Orange County within single digits.

Clinton flipped Orange County into the Democratic column and further increased Democratic strength in Imperial, San Diego, and Los Angeles Counties, enabling them to break 70% in Los Angeles County. And Biden solidified the Democratic hold on Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange, and San Diego, turning the last into a 60% Democratic county. He also made substantial inroads into the Republican dominance of Kern County; I wouldn't be surprised if Kern flips sometime within the next 10-15 years.

Biden also flipped Inyo County — which Trump won by double digits in 2016 and where Clinton couldn’t even crack 40% — in one of the biggest surprises of the election. It’s a small county population-wise compared to Kern, so not as significant numerically, but still notable I think as it shows how even sparsely populated rural counties in CA are not immune to the Democratic trends there.
