Technically you’re correct but its really since “motor voter”.
If they ever had honest elections here you would be surprised.
Fun fact: No Republican has defeated an incumbent Democrat officeholder in a federal race in California since 1994. That’s out of hundreds of races. The logical odds of that happening are astronomical. Going into the 1996 elections, the GOP and Dems were tied at 26 seats each. Now the GOP has just 7 seats (14 going into the 2018 election), having systematically had their seats stolen via fraud and other chicanery. I wouldn’t trust any election result in those 24 years. That the GOP almost always comes up short sets off red flags.
As an aside, before the GOP got remotely “fair” lines in 1992 (for the last time), they’d been systematically gerrymandered into a minority beginning with the 1962 redistricting, so for 3 decades, despite being often the voting majority, they always had a minority of seats. The last time they won a majority was in 1956. Even in 1980, when Reagan won the state and the voters voted for the GOP candidates by a majority, the Dems made it so that they took the majority of seats as the “losers.”
