SANTA ANA, Calif.—A recent pro-Trump “Stop the Steal” rally in Santa Ana, attended largely by Latinos, was not business as usual in the working-class city.
Santa Ana is a Democratic stronghold. Among all cities in Orange County, it had the highest percentage of registered Democratic voters ahead of this election (about 53 percent versus 25 percent Republican) and voted most heavily in favor of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden (about 68 percent). Santa Ana is nearly 77 percent Latino, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
