California becomes dark dark blue.

[amborin]

12. unless you look at the la times interactive map and see how dark red

large swathes of the state are.

Orange county has always been red; but it turned blue in 2008; now, it's back to red.

But worse are all the communties along the entire eastern stretch of the state, from north to south,'; and the border between red and blue keeps creeping westward. Many counties across the north are also red.

There's work to be done to move these people leftward.
