“Between February and December last year, the GOP lost more than 170,000 registered voters in the state. The Democratic decline in that period was about 69,000 voters.”
Could that be that smart Republicans are moving out of California? While the democrats are replacing theirs with illegals?
In California we have an official party affiliation designation called "Decline To State" (DTS). While some have left the state, entirely, MANY former Republicans have simply re-registered DTS in protest of the CaGOP's RINOism.
