What started as a good night for Democrats in the House on Election night 2018, turned into a very, very good result after paper ballots were counted days and sometimes weeks later.
In Orange County, often referred to as Reagan Country, it was a wipe out (see Map above).
This November 18 CNN analysis is typical of the conclusions the mainstream media and Never-Trump Republicans drew:
Now, with the final ballots counted, Democrats have achieved a total takeover of congressional seats in the one-time Republican bastion of Orange County….
The Democrats’ success in flipping all four seats from red to blue is a stunning development for a county that served as the North Star for Reagan-style conservatism.
