My speculation: California is probably where illegal aliens could vote fairly freely.
In California Hillary racked up about 2,900,000 more votes than needed to win (excess votes).
In New York she racked up about 1,500,000 excess votes.
Hillary’s average excess vote for the 20 states plus Washington DC that she won is about 450,000.
Trump’s average excess vote for the 30 states he won is about 278,000.
But take away California and Hillary’s average excess vote drops to about 329,000 per state.
Take away both California and New York and her average excess vote drops to about 267,000.
10 million voted leaving 7 million registered voters on the table, or 14 million who were eligible to vote. No telling which party they would have voted for though. or which party would have benefited more by them voting. Though my instinct tells me, probably Democrats.
What the heck is wrong with California? It used to be the state of Reagan. I know it is awash with Mexican immigrants, but still one would expect some degree of sanity.
California wants to be the One Ring that rules them all.
“uber-liberal California.”
Either sweep up and deport the non-citizens or give it back to Meh-he-coh.
40 million people and only seven million votes cast. Net out the illegals, and I think many productive (and predominantly male) citizens have just given up on the system - but their wives are still voting for Socialist grifters disguised as moms in tennis shoes who are promising to save their schools.
best description of red and blue America that I have seen.
I question how accurate this map actually is. According to the map, Johnson County, KS is blue. It should be red. Trump/Pence won, not by much, but it was a win.

(Johnson County, KS is right under the “L” in possibly. It is between Douglas County, KS and Jackson County, MO. Both liberal bastions. One is the location of the University of Kansas and the other is Kansas City, MO.)
Scary, but true.
A stat I think is more telling that no liberal would ever want to contemplate - take away Obama’s margins in California and NY in 2012, and ROMNEY won the popular vote! It’s very close ((27k votes per WIKI), but still true.
Take out Illinois and Romney’s win is even bigger!
