How new CA voter demographic milestone will affect upcoming elections

As early ballots arrive in mailboxes this week, Golden State voters will arrive at a symbolic and substantial demographic landmark: a so-called majority-minority electorate.

“For the first time, non-Latino whites will fall below 50 percent of the state’s eligible voters,” as the California Civic Engagement Project predicted in 2014. “From 1980 to 2014, the state’s Latino and Asian American populations grew by 230 percent and 331 percent, respectively, while the white population fell about 6 percent,” the Orange County Register noted, citing a January report from the Civic Engagement Project.

the leaders of both houses of the Legislature are Latino

And gay

The best way to describe what the future holds for California is to ask if one has ever been to South Africa or Zimbabwe. These are countries built by whites and now ruled by a majority non-white populous and government. How well do these countries function?

Or maybe better look at Singapore, Shenzhen, and Tokyo.

I am under the impression that CA is an Electoral winner take all state. Am I wrong about this?

If not, then what the hell difference does this make except for some possible mechanism to reapportion elector distributions in the future? The empirical voting trends for the last few elections have always been Democrat, right?

Why would this vaguely heralded sea change mean anything in the overall count? Really? I think most anti-Democrat voters go into the fray knowing California sets the Democrat stage and that to beat them the other battleground states become all the more important. To me this isn’t rocket science and it further causes me to beg the question “What does it matter what California does or becomes now?”

The reality of the fact of mattering only matters when the potential exists for Trump to go over the top and get the electoral votes. Then all this blather about CA milestones becomes just diversionary bullsh!t in hopes of creating a bad feeling among anti-Democrat voters elsewhere, IMO.

Update from my traveling friend. He’s been in CA this week and, to no one’s surprise, CA is for Hellary. Said there’s too many loonies there. Nowhere else has he spoken to another Hellary voter.

[jacknhoo]

Yeah keep killing your babies, white mothers, and let the white replacement come to fruition, aye!

1.5 Billion babies killed, just since 1980, by their mothers.

1.25 per second.

[kabar]

Singapore? Tokyo? What’s your point?

[A CA Guy]

Means we here in CA are going to crash.

How little long before they overthrow prop 13 and run out of welfare checks for anchor babies?

[originalbuckeye]

Satan’s work is almost done in California. Next is the whole of the USA. Pray for our country.

Artichokegrower wrote that these demographic shifts will cause California to be like South Africa or Zimbabwe. I was suggesting that the big surge of Asian immigrants could alternatively lead to Singapore-like result rather than widespread assaults on the remaining whites and forcing them off their property.

Only the Mexicans want to steal the state from whites. Asians are busy building huge corporations and that will more likely dominate the outcome.

Lots of people fleeing socialist Third World nations now want to turn their new home into a socialist Third World nation/state.

They ain’t too bright.

[T-Bone Texan]

There is absolutely no indicator that the multiethnic morass that is CA will be run efficiently or with competence, like Singapore.

I refuse to celebrate the disenfranchisement of the competent founding stock of this Nation in favor of non westerner invaders.

Zimbabwe, here we come.

The demographics say otherwise. Asians make up only 5% of the population and and will be 8% by 2060. By 2043, non-Hispanic whites will be 50% of the population, down from 89% in 1970.

Here are some stats on immigrants:

The nation's 42.4 million immigrants (legal and illegal) in 2014 is the highest number ever in American history. The 13.3 percent of the nation's population comprised of immigrants in 2014 is the highest percentage in 94 years.

Between 2000 and 2014, 18.7 million new immigrants (legal and illegal) settled in the United States. Despite the Great Recession beginning at the end of 2007, and the weak recovery that followed, 7.9 million new immigrants settled in the United States from the beginning of 2008 to mid-2014.

A large share of immigrants have low levels of formal education. Of adult immigrants (ages 25 to 65), 28 percent have not completed high school, compared to 8 percent of natives. The share of immigrants (25 to 65) with at least a bachelor's degree is only slightly lower than natives — 30 percent vs. 32 percent.

At the same time immigration has added to the number of less-educated workers, the share of young less-educated natives holding a job declined significantly. In 2000, 66 percent of natives under age 30 with no education beyond high school were working; in 2015 it was 53 percent.

n 2014, 21 percent of immigrants and their U.S.-born children (under 18) lived in poverty, compared to 13 percent of natives and their children. Immigrants and their children account for about one-fourth of all persons in poverty. Almost one in three children (under age 18) in poverty have immigrant fathers.

In 2014, 42 percent of immigrant-headed households used at least one welfare program (primarily food assistance and Medicaid), compared to 27 percent for natives. Both figures represent an undercount. If adjusted for undercount based on other Census Bureau data, the rate would be 57 percent for immigrants and 34 percent for natives.

The poverty rate of adult immigrants who have lived in the United States for 20 years is 57 percent higher than for adult natives.

There are 10.9 million students from immigrant households in public schools, and they account for nearly 23 percent of all public school students.

n addition to increasing enrollment, immigration often creates significant challenges for schools by adding to the number of students with special needs. In 2014, 75 percent of students who spoke a language other than English were from immigrant households, as are 31 percent of all public school students in poverty.

States with the largest share of public school students from immigrant households are California (47 percent), Nevada (37 percent), New York and New Jersey (33 percent each), and Texas (32 percent).

Immigrants and natives have very similar rates of entrepreneurship — 12.4 percent of immigrants are self-employed either full- or part-time, as are 12.8 percent of natives.

Most of the businesses operated by immigrants and natives tend to be small. In 2015, only 16 percent of immigrant-owned businesses had more than 10 employees, as did 19 percent of native-owned businesses.

That ship sailed with the 1965 immigration bill that Teddy Kennedy assured us would not affect the nation’s demographics. That ended immigration preferences for educated Europeans. It’s some small consolation, I suppose, that almost all Asians immigrated here legally unlike most Mexicans.

I dislike the change as much as you do. But stressing out over it won’t change the outcome one iota and will ruin your health. This is from somebody living at ground zero for the change. Many of our Silicon Valley small towns have been completely overtaken by Asians, Afghanis, and Middle Easterners in the past 35 years. The only recourse we have is to sell and leave or adapt. As much as we don’t like it, it is the cold hard reality.

[T-Bone Texan]

I propose taking up arms and violently overthrowing a tyrannical government that does not obey the will of the people.

After that, the invaders would mostly go home on their own accord.

[artichokegrower]

You are correct in that California’s Electoral College votes are going to go to Hilary. But California’s local politics affects the rest of the nation. Right now there are 14 million Californians on Medi-Cal (Medicaid. The rest of the country picks up the tab for this handout. There is proposition on the state’s ballot this election that will continue this program and will continue the federal matching dollars.

[walkingdead]

That is funny, as I live in CA, and cannot find a Hillary sign anywhere. Granted I do not live in downtown SF, but still.

The vocal minority I guess. I really believe the dems will have to dust off their CA voter fraud machine this cycle, that contraption probably hasn’t ran since Reagan....

My .02 while living in CA.

[ckilmer]

There’s going to be a big difference between coastal california which is all blue and inland california which away from the border is more red.

what part of california do you live in.

(I live in northern va which is mostly blue. tidewater/norfolk area is mostly blue too but the rest of the state is red and probably very red this year. right now the dems are slated to win the state but an upset is still possible.)

[dowcaet]

That senate race between Kamala Harris and Loretta Sanchez isn’t a done deal for Harris as all the pundits are predicting. With that large Hispanic vote Sanchez could still win. Wouldn’t that be ironic if Harris loses to Sanchez because of illegals voting? Harris and all black Democrats better realize that their days of being part of the Democrat power structure are about to end. Hispanics are gonna be replacing them and challenge the white power structure of that party.
