I hadn't even thought of that, but it makes sense; you're right.

the california ballot wasn't that bad. maddow was probably referencing florida.

Ah, thank you for the correction. You're right; now that I think about it, the piece was tied into early voting being cut, and that certainly wasn't California.

btw, after this election the home of ronald reagan has no statewide elected officials who are republican and a 2/3 democratic majority in both the state assembly and state senate. prior to the election there it was thought the senate might possible get a 2/3 majority but the assembly is a complete surprise.
it's been an amazing 18 year decline since the california republican party tied themselves to an anti-immigrant stance with prop 187. they will literally be almost meaningless in statewide politics for the next 2 years.

Demographics is destiny, for sure. I'll be interested to see what Texas' electoral map looks like in 10 years.
