Its become a recurring theme across in recent years as the countys once dominant Republican voting base turns increasingly purple with changing demographics and voter registration rates cutting against the GOP brand.

Democrats have a roughly 80,000-person edge in voter registration after pulling ahead of Republicans a couple years ago, sitting at nearly 38% of registered voters compared to 33% for the GOP.
