— Rural Inyo County was one of two California counties to vote for Biden in 2020 after supporting Trump in 2016. The last time rural Inyo County backed a Democrat for president was in 1964, when voters chose Lyndon B. Johnson. Considering Trump carried Inyo County by 13 percentage points four years earlier, it was quietly one of the most dramatic red-to-blue flips in the country. When Trump ran in 2016, just over 41% of registered voters in Inyo County were Republicans — a 10-point advantage over Democrats. In Inyo County, about 34% of the newcomers came from Los Angeles or Orange counties, according to the data.
