I know next to nothing about Commiefornia other than most of it is a liberal shithole into which law-abiding peeps are compelled to pour their money. And the last damned thing we need is six more liberal shithole politicians festering up D.C. even beyond the cesspool it already is.
Compare the map above to this one:
(http://www.electoral-vote.com/evp2012/Images/election-by-county-2012.png)
This is what makes this map and the changes it proposes, so dangerous. There are large regions of California that are solid conservative red (The region labeled 'Jefferson' on the map is one, Central California, and the eastern portions of South California are others). those red areas though, are largely the agricultural areas of California; meaning they're very sparsely populated.
Understand that this isn't an attempt to BREAK the power block of California's electoral college votes, but to EXPAND it. 12 Senate seats to control instead of 2. California's 55 electoral college votes would be initially expanded to 65, with the more populous coastal Dhimmi'Rat shitholes taking the lion's share of them. This is taking those solid red areas and dividing them up, the effect being to make Commie-fornia even more Dhimmi'Rat blue than it would be otherwise.
My guess, is that the Dhimmi'Rats have internal polling on the mid-terms that shows them losing the Senate big-time, and this is their counter to that. Notice how it's put forward by a businessman/venture capitalist - probably a deliberate attempt to make the idea look like it originated a "conservative".
