I’ve lived in a few of those counties for a number of years – they are conservative!
Many of the counties on this list are north-northeast of Sacramento. If you drive in that area you’ll see plenty of “State of Jefferson” signs…they want to break off from California and form their own state! A whole different world than the California coast I can tell you. I have friends and family there so I visit often.
Note that the only inland college town county that starts to lean red is Butte, which is north-northeast of Sacramento.
