California political mosaic shows GOP gains in south
A 172 page study by Eugene C. Lee and Bruce E. Keith of the Institute of Governmental Studies details California’s varied political shifts. Southern counties leaned GOP from 46 percent in 1960 to 48 percent in 1972 while Los Angeles County remained 62 percent Democratic. San Francisco Bay Area voters rose to 65 percent Democratic. Modoc County historically aligns with state results since 1908, a pattern the authors consider unusual. They note ticket splitting since 1962 and potential crossover effects for governor hopeful Houston J. Flournoy against Ed Mund Brown Jr, with Cranston's reelection buoying cross tickets. They caution turnout gaps, with about one in five voters not going to the polls.
