Riverside County is one of the most ancestrally GOP counties in California, second only to Orange. In the election data I have (which goes back to 1920) the county has had a Dem PVI only once: in 1972. It was one of the few counties on the west coast to go for Hoover in 1932 and nearly went for Landon in 1936.

I can see the reason for the county's republicanism in the past fifty years, but I had always thought that Riverside County was an okie stronghold and therefore would have originally been dem leaning.

There aren't that many rich areas in Riverside County, especially when compared to SD, OC and LA counties.
