Registered Republican voters outnumber registered Democrats by 64 people in California’s open 47th congressional district as of Thursday, Oct. 10.
In July, registered Democrats outnumbered Republicans by 1,909 voters, according to data from the county registrar of voters.
As of Oct. 10, 36.9% of the nearly 1.85 million registered voters in Orange County are Democrats, 34% are Republicans and 22.9% are no party preference.
In comparison, 37.4% of the nearly 1.82 million voters registered in Orange County on Feb. 20 were Democrats, 33.6% were Republicans and 22.8% no party preference.
The result is this surge in GOP support as fed-up Orange County families fight back,” said Ben Petersen, a spokesperson for the National Republican Congressional Committee, which works to elect GOP candidates to the House.
That means Democrats and Republicans account for 34.9% each of the district’s 453,788 registered voters; 23.9% are registered no party preference.
The shift to red, according to the study, is “largely driven by voters switching from other parties to Republican, and it marks a departure from the broader pattern of independent voters moving to Democratic registration.” Orange County voters can return their ballots in the mail or by dropping them off at one of the myriad vote centers or ballot drop boxes that have already opened around the county.
