23. CA has more GOP voters than the next two largest states

They are who is voting for Hilton. The main Dem vote is spread between Becerra and Steyer, with about 500k more Dem votes spread between Porter, Mahan, Villaraigosa, Swalwell, Yee, and Thurmond.

So, Dems are voting Dem and GOP are voting GOP. Just like always. There si no reason to be frustrated by CA voters. Why are you frustrated by GOP voting GOP?
