Secretary of State Padilla's final (Dec. 15th) report on the November
election reveals that _very_ few of California's 58 counties were stupid
and suicidal enough to cast plurality votes for Drumpf -- and all of
those counties had rather low populations.
So, I figure the five successor states replacing California would still
have Democratic Party registrations outnumbering Republican Party ones
by about the same 2:1 proportion with pretty much any drawing of state
lines, _even_ without GOP-style gerrymandering of the type used in
Project REDMAP to buy the biggest distortion of voting in history for a
mere $18M and give the GOP control of the House of Representatives at
least through 2020 despite being outvoted.
