Which explains why all major state offices and the entire state legislature are currently held by Dems... how?



1. The entire state lesgislature isn't held by dems. Dems have about 60% of the seats. Which corresponds pretty well to partisan affiliation in the state. Due to persistent partisan gerrymandering (supported by both parties) this hasn't changed much over the last 20 years.


2. The California republican party has fallen on hard times recently. If you look back over the last 10 years at statewide office you see there is a lot of partisan churn. Half of the last 4 governors have been republican and half democrat. If you go back 20 years it is more republican than democrat. Other statewide offices are similar.

In 1978, Dem registration was at 56.6%, whereas it is now at 44.6%.

California as a whole is actually less liberal now than it used to be.



And republican is at 30% with the reminder being not affiliated with a major party.

According to voter records, as of the last few years it's been voting for more and more democrats. Sorry your statement doesn't hold up.



And in 1978 Republicans were 32%. Do the math and it supports my statement.

Since 1995 more and more people are leaving the republican party, meanwhile the democrat party is increasing in members. The data from state voting records does not support your statement.


I can't find the table I was looking at yesterday but the voting record in California has been going more and more towards democrats in recent years.

Still doesn't refute my statement unless there are more Dems now than in 1978. Which there aren't.

You nuts really think spending is partisan? Yes, both sides do it. The Republicans took a lot of heat for it and "say" they have changed. The Democrats are still out there demanding more. At least we should get on the same page. Big spenders are bad no matter what party. This is not a "points" issue. It is our way of life that is at risk.

Read the chart, there are 3 million more registered voters then there was in 1995. If you do that math, there are 578,000 more registered democrats today then there was in 1995.


Unless you can find voter registration records from 1978, your statement is just opinion. I tried looking but the state's website doesn't have that info available.

Actual voter roll history:

math =

1978 - 57% voted Dem vs. 35% voted Rep
2010 - 44% voted Dem vs. 31% voted Rep

Clearly people are moving away to non registered or other party, most of the dems. Less liberals, unless they all moved to an even more liberal party. I'm guessing it's more Libertarian and Independent, which is the same as what's happening in other states.
