Missed California residents?
Baloney.
Californians and businesses have been leaving the state ever since Schwarzenegger started to capitulate to the State Legislature and foist anti business policies like cap and trade and a green agenda in the state. Imposing such policies on an already bankrupt state did more harm than good and Californians came to the realization that it was no longer beneficial living in and doing business in the state. So they moved to more tax friendly states and to states that were a lot more amenable for business and entrepreneurship.

My neighbors in N Calif moved out in 2003. I moved in late 2004.
We went to states where we had to turn in our vehicles plates & our driver’s licenses to get new ones.
The lady I spoke to at the Nev DMV told me they ship back these items weekly, along with electronic information.
My friends moved to Kansas, where they were told basically the same thing.
We all received DEMANDS for renewal of our vehicles—I had a car, a truck & 2 horse trailers-——they had a car, a truck, her Mom’s car & a mid-sized trailer he used for transporting his sheep.
All of these demands came directly to our NEW addresses—nothing was ‘forwarded!!
California knew perfectly well where we were & they also knew that we had new plates & licenses.
Wonder how much money is wasted yearly with this kind of nonsense?
So, I guess the 1.5 million they think were not counted are persons like myself & my old neighbor.
Another explanation is that they are handing out Welfare & Food Stamps & Section 8 Housing to millions of illegals, who didn’t get on the Census.
Well, to be fair to Schwarzekennedy, the exodus began under Gray "Grayout" Davis.
It's hard to business when you don't know when you are going to have electricity.
Granted, not many of those businesses that left under Davis came back under Schwarzobama but you get the picture.
