when was the last time ca voted republican?
1988
this marked the first time since iowa entered the union in 1846 in which the state voted for a democratic presidential candidate in four elections in a row (1988, 1992, 1996, and 2000), and the last time iowa did not vote for the overall winner. there were two counties in the nation that had voted republican in 1996 and voted democratic in 2000: charles county, maryland and orange county, florida, both rapidly diversifying counties. the 2000 election was also the last time a republican won a number of populous urban counties that have since turned into democratic strongholds. these include mecklenburg county, north carolina (charlotte); marion county, indiana (indianapolis), fairfax county, virginia (dc suburbs), and travis county, texas (austin). in 2016, the most recent presidential election, republican donald trump lost mecklenburg by 30%, marion by 23%, fairfax by 36%, and travis by 38%. conversely, as of 2017 gore is the last democrat to have won any counties at all in oklahoma.
