Cox handily wins Orange County

[ON Progressive]

Cox is now only leading by 1,200 votes.

And there's just under 64k ballots left too.

LOL, I like how I've never been to Orange County and will likely never step foot there AND have never lived in a suburb yet have become you guys' completely hypothetical suburban RINO boogeyman.

Will never visit Orange County or live in a suburb? Why, are you elitist and look down on them because they vote Democratic now?

LOL, possibly neither.  And I actually am so far from being an "elitist" in my personal life that it's kind of funny the picture people have painted based on a PM score.

Join the club. One of the most amusing things that I've encountered on Atlas is that I, a Flawless Beautiful Wonderful "white working class male", have been depicted as a rich coastal elitist snob that looks down on the peons from my ivory tower.

I've always thought that "elitist" is a pretty meaningless term, and is often just an attack thrown at people by those who have no counter-argument and simply don't like (or often don't even fully understand) what is being said.

Not gonna lie, it’s better this way. I can look at the thread name in the Gubernatorial Board and chuckle whenever I see it.

Well, I guess this shows us that in CA, it's important to wait for a very long time before officially announcing anything due to the large amount of late votes that show up.

The fact that Cox is still slightly ahead in OC and will only loose it by a slim margin, suggests that he likely strongly outperformed pretty much all OC Republican congressional incumbents in their districts. It is, actually, impressive

Yeah, but I think that says more about Newsom because the Democrat won OC comfortably in every other D vs R statewide matchup.

I mean Orangel county is still quite republican ancestrally
If the dem candidate in 2019 for ky gov is a non joke tier candidate they couldo win elliot

The pace at which those Orange County Republicans are dying off is really alarming. Then again, this isn’t your grandpa's Neel Kashkari (R) +11 Orange County anymore.

They're dying even faster than Loudoun County Republicans. I sense foul play.

728 votes now. I'm at the edge of my seat, I tell you.

Mods - can this thread be stickied?

[Oryxslayer]

I predicted in another thread that newsom would flip OC before Thanksgiving, when looking at the rate of Dem growth. Got close, I suspect it flips once the Holiday weekend ends and we get back to normal counting totals. But if these tiny baskets are the name of the game, it's going to be a lot longer to get the sweet reward.

[Virginiá]

sure

I'm prepared to make a post on this once it goes over, all I have to say now is OSR is going to want to delete this thread after this is over.

Nah I can take the embarrassment

[politicallefty]

Even I’m surprised at how far Orange County has shifted. When all is said and done, every statewide Democrat in a D vs. R race will have won it. I had my doubts that Newsom could pull off what Jerry Brown only managed to do in his 1978 reeelection.

It doesn’t look like Newsom will get Stanislaus, Fresno, or Riverside (all counties that have voted D for POTUS since 2008). But those counties are notoriously weak for Democrats in midterms, even a year like this.

There are still 118,000 ballots left to count in Riverside County, so I wouldn't be shocked if Newsom gets that one. I do agree that Fresno and Stanislaus look to be out of reach.

I really doubt it. The county has reported at least like 32k votes since the state last updated totals and the margin has barely moved. It doesn’t portend anything awful. Brown didn’t win Riverside in 2010 or 2014. It’s just a matter of midterm turnout. At least Newsom picked up San Bernardino, another county Brown failed to win in those years. The Inland Empire is not reliable for Democrats in midterms, but Republicans are already getting destroyed if they can’t outright win it.

At the very least, Dems are gonna do much better than they typically do in the Inland Empire. Newsom might even win the IE when the counting is done.

Every other statewide Democrat is leading in Riverside County and he's gonna top off at 49%. Didn't expect either to happen.

Beautiful.

This thread aged beautifully.
