Republican Party was a different one from what it is now. After World War II, Calfornia produced two Republican U.S. presidents: 1968 and 1972 Richard Nixon and 1980 and 1984 Ronald Reagan.
We should keep this in mind: During the 20th century, California voted with the presidential winner in all but three: 1912 Woodrow Wilson (D), with the state voting for Theodore Roosevelt (P); 1960 John Kennedy (D), who was erroneously called the state's winner on election night when it barely carried for home son Richard Nixon (R); and 1976 Jimmy Carter (D), when the state held by under 2% for Gerald Ford (R).
