California was the template to change national voter demographics through legal and illegal immigration.

Despite the presence of rock ribbed conservative Freepers in the land of Jim Robinson, California seems to be a lost cause.

Though I’ve never been there, I’ve read much about California.

I’ve met people who lived there in the 1950’s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s and so many of them described it as great - a land of great weather and more importantly, great opportunity. It was never perfect but most seemed to enjoy it. In many ways, the American Dream could be found there.

But from all accounts, it has turned into a cesspool. Bad transportation infrastructure, bad schools, crime, illegals, etc - you name it, California has that affliction.

Years ago, I’d have loved to have lived there. Orange County, the San Fernando Valley, Santa Barbara, etc. But now I’m not even sure I’d want to visit.

A lot closer than they ever would have gotten without Reagan’s amnesty and two Bush Presidents who refused to enforce the laws.

I thought Northern California (Sacramento) and and East California (is that even a term) was conservative?

Has the state been gerrymandered that badly?

[bassmaner]

There’s nothing ‘Democratic’ about the democRAT party. They should just merge with CPUSA and get it over with.

Even if we are facing a tough off year election, and I suspect we are, I doubt we will loose every seat. Some of those districts are very rural and conservative. But all of that said, off year elections are usually bad for the party in the White House. I suspect that we could be in for a long and unpleasant night.

UGH!!!

It irritates the heck out of me that they use Democratic when they should be using Democrat. When talking about a political party it is democrat party or republican party. When talking about a form of government it should be a Democracy (which we are not) or a Republic (which we are).

Just one or my many pet peeves but I won’t go into that now.

[Lurking Libertarian]

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.

Orange County went for Hillary in 2016, the first time the County went for a Democrat since 1936(!). Changing demographics is part of it, but Trump also lost a lot of college-educated white people who used to be solid Republicans. (Nationwide, he more than made up for that by picking up white working class voters who used to be Dems, but there aren't many coal miners in Orange County.)

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 disgrace belongs to California,

Fixed.

“...California, the nation’s largest state “

Sorry, Compost loons...Alaska is largest state, Texas second.
Where do these newspaper dunces come from?

[calljack]

It already has it. It’s just that some of them have an “R” next to their name.

CA, the home of voter fraud, ya think?

[editor-surveyor]

.
The Tax Bill has put CA democrats on the hot seat.

[fella]

Smells of Gerrymandering and voter fraud.

[jmaroneps37]

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.

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.

Election Fraud Against Moore Confirmed, Shills BTFO ( 24:29 )

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.
