Hello again!

You may remember me from such medium posts as State of Orange County’s Congressional Races: November 12th update and State of Orange County’s Congressional Races: Porter takes the lead edition

I’m back to post about low-level competitive Orange County races that may have a chance of changing dramatically as votes get counted.

I probably won’t make continuous posts giving updates on these races, but I will update the charts, so if you’re interested in these races as much as I am, bookmark this page! The OC Registrar of voters updates their vote totals every weekday around 5pm.

I’ll just post a fun one first though:

Orange County’s Democratic primary doesn’t mean much at the end of the day, but I long suspected Bloomberg support would be pretty strong here. California sent out Vote by mail ballots on February 3rd, so the early Bloomberg strength (and other candidates that had already dropped out for that matter) quickly fell away as Biden appears to be the moderates answer to Bernie Sanders. I really have to wonder: if Biden had consolidated support earlier in the process, would Orange County (and maybe California as a whole?) have a different vote leader?
