The election results thus far “confirms the evidence that Orange County is very much a purple county,” said Louis DeSipio, who teaches political science at UC Irvine. Still, DeSipio threw a bit of an asterisk on any analysis of results: “Off-year elections are weird, and off, off-year elections are even weirder. This may not reflect what’s going to happen in 2026 or 2028. These (voters) are the truly committed who turned out for the election. We’ll see future competition for the presidency and gubernatorial races here in Orange County,” said DeSipio.
