Although our local leftwing liberal blogger, Jeff Pelline, touts that Nevada County is a changin', the election numbers simply do not reflect any "changing of the guard."
Let's take a look at the partisan races and the margin of victory by the Republicans running in Nevada County. I will rank them from most conservative to least conservative.
McClintock won by 16%
Logue won by 13%
LaMalfa won by 25%
Fiorina won by 14%
Whitman won by 6%
Maldonado won by 8%
In all of the statewide races, Republicans only lost one in Nevada County.
Prop 23 lost narrowly in Nevada County and primarily due to the misleading (and at times flat out lying) campaign run by the opposition...but that is politics unfortunately.
The bottom line is this...the more conservative that you are, the more likely you are to win Nevada County partisan races.
The rest of the results are here.
