Actually, the population west of the San Andreas fault is the problem. Simon won every county outside of the San Francisco Bay Area and northern coast. He won every Southern California county except Los Angeles and small Imperial. He lost by 350,000 votes, and I'm pretty upset about it, but he won more than 3/4 of the geographic state, and showed pretty clearly how divided California is ... really, like the rest of the country.

Actually, Berzerkeley, Oakland, Frisco, and Marin all lie just east of the San Andreas Fault. We need to go at least to the Hayward Fault, perhaps even to the Calaveras Fault, but definitely to the Hayward Fault here in North California.

According to the info in that chart, neither candidate got over 50% of the vote. Does that not result in a run-off?
