The Left Coast

 

I'm kind of fascinated by this map at the New York Times, which shows the primary results in the California Senate race, showing the divide between counties where Democrat Adam Schiff won and those won by Republican Steve Garvey. (There were also two significant other Dems in the race, Katie Porter and Barbara Lee). 
 
Except for Orange County (south of LA) and San Diego County at the bottom of the map and Del Norte at the top, the coast all went to Schiff-- and two of those might shift when the race is down to two. It's a really stark divide, and one we outsiders don't always perceive about the state: when we talk about wealthy and affluent California, we are talking about the coast. The inland areas are very different, and not just regarding politics...

That area by Nevada with no result is currently buried under 11 feet of snow.

Did you know that Schiff was pushing Garvey during the primary?
