How close will California get to an all-Democratic House delegation in 2018?

When it comes to House seats, no state is more consistently Democratic than Massachusetts. The last time that state elected a Republican to the House in either a general or special election was 1994, when Republicans captured 2 of its 10 seats. Over the intervening decades, it hasn’t happened.

But when one is identifying the most Democratic state in the country, Massachusetts usually isn’t the first state that comes to mind. Instead, that honor belongs to California, the nation’s largest state and the one that immediately conjures images of Hollywood liberals and Humboldt hippies. Yet that picture of California is incomplete. Once solidly Republican, the GOP still retains a bastion of support in the southern part of the state, anchored by conservatives in Orange County and the military’s heavy presence near San Diego.

Should things go the Democrats’ way this November, they could emerge with 47 of the state’s 53 House seats — enough by itself to reduce the Republicans’ 46-seat majority to a 30-seat one.

Smells of Gerrymandering and voter fraud.

Even after the bigly ass kicking the Donkeys take in 2020 there will be no Republican House members north of Pennsylvana and none west of Nevada except Alaska.The donkeys will be bunkers and about 10 states will look like Massachusetts.

“Home” to too many illegal Mexicans.

They are talking about largest in population, not land area.

I was born and raised in California, in the 1950s and 1960s. After I got out of the Air Force in 1974 I returned to where I grew up. It was changing even then. By 1979 I saw the writing on the wall, and realized that California was headed down the tubes. So, I left California in 1979 and never looked back.

We lived in the mid coast (Presidio of Monterey, Vandenberg AFB, Lompoc, Santa Barbara) in the early and mid 70's then southern California (San Diego in the 80's though late 90's).

We left when the decay was becoming obvious but the story is the same that you described. It started as a wonderful place to live with a great climate and good jobs. We also enjoyed wonderfully tolerant people where different opinions were OK.

It all went to hell when the goodie-goodie libs put up the "don't run over immigrant signs" at the border and San Onofre checkpoints. That signaled that the gates were open and the illegal alien flood never stopped since. All the major metro areas now are third world enclaves.

Then the greenies regulated all the manufacturing industry to death chasing my job to more friendly states. We had to go where the work was.

After the DemocRATS took Trump for granted that he'd lose, they won't make that mistake again.
They'll never leave another election up to the voters.

Things have changed!

Bennie Smith, a Memphis computer programmer, discovered HOW this is done through a

" ... a GEMS tabulator—for Global Election Management System—which is a personal computer installed with Diebold software that sits in a windowless room in the county’s election headquarters.
The tabulator is the brains of the system.
It monitors the voting machines, sorts out which machines have delivered data and which haven’t, and tallies the results.
As voting machines check in and their votes are included in the official count, each machine’s status turns green on the GEMS master panel.
A red light means the upload has failed.

At the end of Memphis’s election night in October 2015, there was no indication from the technician running Shelby County’s GEMS tabulator that any voting machine hadn’t checked in or that any votes had gone missing, according to election commission e-mails obtained by Bloomberg Businessweek.
Yet as county technicians followed up on the evidence from Smith’s poll-tape photo, they discovered more votes that never made it into the election night count, all from precincts with large concentrations of black voters. ... "

Diebold Election Systems changed its name in 2006 to Premier Election Solutions.
Bloomberg's article titled How to Protect Against Election Day Hacking gives more proof of this by Memphis computer programmer Bennie Smith.

"... The method Smith used to catch the problem should be a playbook for any candidate, party or concerned citizen worried about the accurate tallying of their votes:
Smith snapped some pictures of printed voting tallies (known as poll tapes) at a high-turnout polling location and then compared the results there to the electronic tabulations.
This is a very good, if labor-intensive, way to check to ensure that votes are being counted correctly.

Smith has created a proof-of-concept program called Fraction Magic, showing how corrupt officials could tamper with GEMS to manipulate election outcomes.

I think their recent primary system was set up to make them a one party state.

Now there will be many congressional districts where a Republican isn’t even on the ballot in the General election.

The OC went for Hillary by about 5%, which translates to less than 40,000 votes. I think that’s reversible in 2020, though it won’t matter statewide. There are a lot of foreign born voters here, and their offspring, like everywhere in California. The GOP, and Trump, really need to change the anti-immigrant image the media gives them. Hard to do when the media drives the narrative.

Has the state been gerrymandered that badly?

It seems that the problem is not gerrymandering but demography. We're seeing a heavy influx of immigrants from Asia and Latin America, and most of them vote Democratic.

As to Eastern California, much of it remains conservative, although Mexican immigrants have turned Imperial County blue, and Sierra Club types have done the same to Mono and Alpine Counties.

I know....but from his writings...it's just one thing after another.

I'd figure at some point....I can't hold back the tide...and get out while the getting is good.

I left in 1998...and have not looked back.

San Fernando Valley has become occupied territory.

I want you to try to think how your local community would be affected by 25-40% the illegal aliens from Mexico?

Think of your schools, roads, crime...

Imagine one million more drivers on Southern California freeways, and ask yourself if that would impact traffic at all. Ask yourself if millions more illegal aliens would impact your public transit, and a number of other things related to infrastructure.

As for educating the children of illegals, the costs are very illusive.

These foreign nationals take over our schools, and then the White middle-class has to scramble to cover the cost of educating their own children in parochial schools.

Our parents are paying for the education of their own children, and the children of others.

When you see the costs of illegal immigration, they never add in the cost to private citizens affected by the illegal immigrant.

When folks defend the illegals, they don’t address the issue that these kids stole the seats our citizen’s children should be sitting in.

Some will try to ask, “What, you’re too good to have your kids there with children of another race?” This isn’t an issue of that. These kids speak a different language and gang up on our kids. The parents have to move their kids out for their own safety.

Our parents just go on silently carrying the load of illegal aliens on their family’s budget.

The small town I grew up in outside of Bakersfield was all farmers and Okies. It has been 99% Hispanic for about 20 years now, as is every farm town surrounding Bakersfield. It looks like you are IN Mexico.
Immigration is my issue. I’ve watched the town I grew up in become a barrio along with Bakersfield and the rest of California. I hate it. People from other states who haven’t lived it just don’t get it. And they won’t until it happens where they live. And it will.....eventually.

Legal immigration resulted in my town changing a lot over about 40 years.

Around 1980, it was 70% long term White. Starting around then massive numbers of people were moved here from overseas.

People saw them coming through Italy, with luggage that had my town’s name on it. Seriously!

These folks came here. Their older people were put on Social Security having never worked a day here in their lives.

Within 20 years, the population was 70% the former citizens of a foreign nation.

My town’s population is about 200k. It was changed in a couple of decades.

Even our legal immigration has been used against us.

To this folks try to play it off as if this is the way it has always been.

Not in modern times. Anything that displaces citizens to whole change the make-up of a town, is destructive to the culture there before.

I’ve heard this is taking place across the nation, all the time.

The goal seems to be to destroy our culture.
