You need to understand that the election processes are so crooked, California hasn't had an honest election in decades....rampant election fraud.  Remember California was REAGAN country where Reagan was Governor, and Pete Wilson and more recently Arnie Schwartznegar....all GOP Governors......that was before the Demoncraps got a hold of the state Capital and took over all election processes.  California hasn't had an honest election since. California went RED in every single Presidential Election up to and including Bush Sr's election. So an awful lot of GOP people see the writing on the wall and have given up on California are heading to Red States, to bolster those red states. But you need to understand that the Demoncraps have their own agenda and that is to take over the Capitol of every single state in the Union, in order to rig the elections in their favor.  THAT is the big concern for every state.  If conservatives abdicate these responsibilities (low paying gov't jobs) to Demoncraps, every state will go the way of California.  What happened in California is the blue print plan for every state in the union.  Once you have crooked elections, games over.  THAT'S the DEMONCRAP PLAN.
