I find it stunning that California is given so many delegate votes given the fact the there is ZERO chance that CA will vote Republican in the general election.

It appears that the Republican Establishment has designed this process to give us another weak candidate that provides no real difference from the Democrat opponent.

States that traditionally vote Democrat should be given less delegates, not more, to minimize their impact on candidate choice, since their states will have no positive impact in the general election. And in my opinion, MA, CA, IL, CT, MN, and NY should each be given one delegate (just to be fair).

Democrat states DO get less delegates relative to their population. Case in point: Colorado, with 5X the population of Wyoming (and 3 or 4X as many Republican voters), gets 37 delegates, Wyoming almost as many, 29.
